Southern Wainscot - Darley Dale

Another record from Simon Roddis, this time the Southern Wainscot a species that has been moving northwards in the County but this is the first record we are aware of locally.
It is very similar to the Smoky Wainscot but is paler and lacks that species dark hindwing, it also has a dark line across the front of the thorax when viewed head on which appears to be a good feature for separating the two species.
