<![CDATA[ Having spent a bit of my lunch break looking at various images of the two species 'italica' would be the logical choice. For a bit of fun, the Microlepidoptera.nl website offers (via Google translate) the following:
"Based on the initial samples (Sept 2013) genital examination distinguishes M. italica from M. cinnamomea by the bright orange or orange-brown ground colour, with the usually sharp (clear light yellow) drawing. M. cinnamomea is more grey, brownish or dark red, with wider tires, a more developed tornusvlek (bottom dot blot) and the drawing paler: yellowish white to white". ]]>

<![CDATA[ Hello Raymond. I was wondering that myself. Last years record was a real surprise. Yesterday's was unexpected. Any others will be more than just coincidence. Various sources state that the larvae feeds within dead wood, with oak being frequently mentioned. There are a number of young-ish (I'm guessing c.30 + yr old) oaks not that far from the garden as the crow flies ... so who knows. ]]>
