Sitting in the garden I saw a very colourful moth. Unusually it even waited for me to put a cappuccino down and go for my macro lens. Looking online it would appear to be a Pyrausta but is it aurata or purpuralis?
Studying the photos on the web I am inclined to think it is aurata but it has more gold than the photo I have found which I understand purpuralis has but then it has less than the photos I have seen of that. Any help with the id would be appreciated as I have only recently started exploring the world of moths.
