Small Scallop?


Dave and Nigel were very helpful last year when I had trouble distinguishing between a Small Bloodvein and a Small Scallop, which arrived together in the trap. I've used their advice with this delicate creature and think that it may be a very pallid Small Bloodvein, but I am so often wrong that I'd be very grateful for confirmation or correction.  Other arrivals include regular Small Dotted Buffs, Yellow Shell and the Gothic below. All best, Martin Wainwright, Thrupp.
