Glasgow - Kelvindale moths
Common Rustic agg. Moth (Mesapamea sp.) trapped in Kelvindale, Glasgow, taken by David Palmar. Historically these were a single species; however now they have been split into three, aggregated here. The easiest way to separate the species is by their genitalia, which has not been attempted; colour variations are not so reliable. Their caterpillars feed on grasses such as Cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) and Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea).
