European Yellow Underwing
Noctua pronuba

Observation date: September 29, 2016
Submitted by: Slugbait
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Seen crawling around floor of main shop eventually under a cabinet and out of sight. Was a lot speedier on its feet than most moths seen crawling and seemed more determined to actually get somewhere by that method of movement (as opposed to crawling in small basically circular patterns like so many others do) Was about 2 cm long.
