First moth of the year and it's one I haven't seen before.

Tortricodes alternella Martsvikler
Spring Harbinger/Winter Shade

Now I am keen as mustard to go mothing again. I'll probably start digging out the gear tomorrow, and then hope for a night without downpour.

@Natteheks I had a large one show up in the kitchen the other day. Almost as long as my thumb and triangular in shape, sort of spotted in pattern.
I put it outside, I would feel so bad if the cat got it.
