I've a soft spot for the Satellite moth.
It's one of those species where the more you look at it the more intricate colours and patterns you see.

With some Light SE winds + favorable trapping conditions these two must have reached the North Coast of NI & my trap.
Pale Mottled Willow and Setaceous Hebrew Character.
From what I can see records wise, nether have been recorded here since pre 1970 + 2000 respectively.

At the time of year when many of the #moth species become varying shades of brown or worn with age, there are welcome standouts.
The Boarded Beauty is one of them.
