Large yellow underwing moth Noctua pronuba
Large yellow underwing moth Noctua pronuba

At last, a fairly chunky moth on the warehouse wall at the factory. This is the large yellow underwing, with a wingspan of about 3 inches. It is about as pale brown and boring as possible when at rest, but the underwings are a spectacular golden yellow with dark brown borders. Some moths will let you tickle their wings open slightly, but these ones are pretty skittish and fast-flying, and it was almost out of my reach up the warehouse wall, otherwise I might have had a go at getting it on to my hand – but it probably would have flown the coop anyway.
