Post by: Paul Fox on August 02, 2011, 01:21:22 AM
Can anyone identify this moth please? It's about 15mm wingtip to wingtip as shown here.

Hi,

its a Meal Moth. Where did you see this as it might be quite a good record?

I live in Billingham. It just appeared in our living room last night, near the fireplace. It's possible it came down the chimney.
