Norfolk status
Local, most likely of the two Norfolk Ear Moth species to be found in coastal areas, salt-marshes, sand-dunes and fens.
Often paler than Ear Moth, with slightly longer wings and narrow, often whitish stigmata.

The Ear moths, or Amphipoea species are so alike that it is not usually reliable to distinguish them without referring to their genitalic structure.
