Southern Wainscot

Southern Wainscot Mythimna straminea (Treitschke, 1825)
Status .....Recorded widely over much of the northern-half of Nottinghamshire. There may be a certain amount of under-recording, in view of its relative similarity to a number of other species, but it is slightly larger than Common and Smoky Wainscot and can be identified by the striped 'collar' at the back of the head (see lower photograph).
