Warren sent us this photo of a Brown Silver-lines moth he spotted on Castle Hill, Shaftesbury on 28/04/25.

This is an unusual image as this species tend to hold their forewings back to cover the hind wings when at rest.

Ann spotted this moth in DWT’s Corfe Mullen Meadow on 31/05/20.

This species is in flight from mid April in the south until June and easily disturbed by day from Bracken which is its foodplant.
