Cat for ID please....

UPDATE: Now on Dandelion - 28mm long

I thought this looked a little unusual so I'm going to feed it. It looks like a non-descript noctuid but haven't noticed one so hairy before. It's 20mm and nibbling on Groundsel.

cOLIN SUGGESTS RINGLET.......................................

I've added a dorsal view, probably something very common..............

I think Richard Lewington is working on a new larvae guide - the pug plate looks as good as you would expect from the maestro.

Hi Charlie the Ringlet looks less likely now given the Doral shot

Hi again,

Thanks for having a go anyway - good news is it pupated on the 9th so I'll post the results when the adult pops out in a month or so.
