Moth ID help please
We caught this moth last night up here in Midgley and are uncertain about its ID. Initial impression was of a very large Rustic type but clearly not one of those, checking books, UK moths etc has led us to think it might be a Dark Brocade but someone else has suggested it might be Glaucous Shears, can anyone help please?

Hi Nick
You have a Cabbage Moth there.
Not one I see much here living inbetween pesticide ridden fields of corn!

Ben
Thanks for this Ben, its reassuring to find that this must be a challenging moth as we now have two "votes" for Dark Brocade and one each for Glaucous Shears and Cabbage Moth.
look like a Cabbage Moth to me
Agree with Ben and Martyn - it's a Cabbage Moth.
Thanks again chaps
