Moth

DateMon 2011-08-01

What I think is a carnation tortix moth, Cacoecimorpha pronubana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).  It took me quite a while to identify this, but I eventually matched the rather faint downward-pointing arrow marking on its back with one of the images on the page linked to above.

Photo taken in the woods between the mouth of the River Kennet and the car park of the Napier Road Tesco's, Reading, UK, on 2011-04-24.
