Angle Shades
Phlogophora meticulosa
Species account (old)
By contrast to the previous species [Euplexia lucipara], Robson noted this as 'An abundant species everywhere and occurring almost all the year'. [...] In Durham the moth is still taken in most months of the year, although there is a greater concentration of records in September and October than at any other time. TCD had a specimen emerge on a sunny day in January from the keyhole of a mortice lock on a garden shed door, in 1950. It is still widely distributed and quite common.
