Mottled Grey

A small moth landed by my foot as I crossed the moor this morning, it turned out to be quite a nice specimen of the Mottled Grey. It was very small and I presume it is a female. A fairly regular visitor to my garden trap in the early Spring but only in small numbers and I suspect I only catch males which is interesting. It feeds on Lady's and Heath Bedstraw.
