Green-brindled Crescent - so fresh I’m guessing it’s probably from on of our garden Hawthorns

Allophyes oxyacanthae

Allophyes: changing in character (there are two colour morphs)

oxyacanthae: from Hawthorn or ‘sharp thorn’

Ah yes, the BC thingy. My outlaws are with me in London. They live about 2 miles from you. Sorcerer/Alchemist - not having seen either. Retain it Tim, and look in natural light.

A. emargana is the most likely species, Steve. However, if effractana is suspected, specimens should be retained to check for effractana. 👨‍🔬🧪🔬
