Today's #MothOfTheDay is a new species for my garden. Not rare; just never had one before. Alas, I couldn't get a side shot to show it's ridged, bark-like appearance as it was too skittish and flew promptly. But here is:

TAWNY PINION
Lithophane semibrunnea

Hibernates over winter and reappears March/April.
