It seems to have the short A2 of Trichoceridae. In my area it would be a Trichocera. |

Well Larry it is either the road that links London to Dover or the wing vein shown below in this link; http://www.insect...ra-sp.html In this case I think it may be the latter Regards Smart-arse! |

It is Trichocera indeed and might be T.annulata, if the abdomen really has dark bands as I see from the image
