Moths - The Yellow Shell Moth

First seen on Monday 19th June 2023 at Cragside

About 2-3 cm across, an average sized moth. They are found well under cover in grasses. However, they do fly in the daytime, and they are bright yellow when flying so making them one of the easier moths to spot. They are normally found as in the photo below, with their wings forming a triangle.
