    This was in my conservatory last night.
    Never seen one before.
    Can anyone put a name to it please.
    It was small - about the size of a 20p coin.

    The blind kept moving, so shot not too clear.

                          I have three relevant books, and this moth is not mentioned in any of them.
                          I have done a search, and you are correct, that is the moth which I saw.
                          Many thanks.
