Photographed during summer in my garden eating Garden Geranium. Probably something very common.

Roger, Silver Y (Autographa gamma) is a possibility, but some of the related plusiid moths are very similar. Martin Martin Harvey Get help with UK wildlife identification: http://www.ispot.... |

Thanks Martin, I'd just about given up on any response on this post..were not my best photo's..wrong DOF settings.  Silver Y Moths are very common here so the odds are fairly high that this might be one of their caterpillars.  Regards Roger |
