Bactra lacteana again

Just a quick note to say that a second female Bactra lacteana turned up in the specimens taken home from Abbey Farm on 5th August. This one showed extensive orange/brown scaling similar to the image in Lepiforum and may represent a common appearence of the female of this species. The two dark dashes are present but confused amongst the other dark scales on the forewing. This specimen was larger that the two previously reported.
