Pyrausta aurata
An Autumn example of the Pyralid Pyrausta aurata, this one is rather worn with many of the red scales on the wings missing. The moth which has a wing length of only 7mm looks black at a distance but is quite striking close-up. It is a moth of limestone grasslands, its larva feed on Majoram and other mints.
