Clouded-bordered Brindle

Clouded-bordered Brindle Apamea crenata (Hufnagel, 1766)
Status .....Described as common, but this is not a moth we have ever caught with any regularity. The northern-half of Nottinghamshire, seems to be the stronghold for this moth. The dark forms of Clouded-bordered Brindle shown below, were kindly supplied to us for photographing by members of the Lound Moth Group.
