I can see the similarity in wing pattern with A. oressarcha (a highland species), but look at those very big eyes. I've been assuming it's a micro, but how big was it Alison?

Hi Glenn, from memory I think it was about half an inch. I'm not so good at converting to mm.

Could it be a battered Arrade destituta?

Certainly too small for Anthela sp.

I was the one to first suggest Arrade destituta, but it was always speculative, and my best guess now is Pyralidae or Cramibidae.
