Kent Black Arches?

Hello! I am new to this page but I have been moth trapping for a while now! I caught this in my trap last week - would someone be so kind as to confirm its species? My grid ref is SP415138.  I live in Long Hanborough near to Witney.  Many thanks!

  1. Hello May, yes indeed, that's Kent Black Arches. I don't know how it is faring in Oxfordshire but certainly in Bucks it is quite well established now at several sites in the Chilterns.

  3. Thank you guys! I have been trapping in my garden for several years and have never been fortunate enough to catch one until now.
