Centre-barred sallow minus bar

Thought I might have something special in the moth-trap until I looked closely at it. A centre-barred sallow (isn’t it?), but not as we know it… A bit worn and probably not worth a photograph, but it’s the first plain example I’ve ever seen. Anyone else caught one of these?

    I’ve never seen one like that Tony, interesting. Caused by the weather whilst it was in the pupa perhaps?

    I have seen a few, just like this aberration, at Bawdsey over the years. I would guess on one to two per autumn here. Nice to see.
