This is my first moth of the year, found in a Pets at Home warehouse 2 weeks ago. But still not seen one since! It has distinctive raised scale 'tufts' on the middle of each forewing and although a variable moth I haven't seen this form before! Andover, Hampshire, UK. 2012-01-11.

The female has shorter antennae - but they are still impressive. This species is only found in old relict pine forests in Scotland in the UK, and occasionally as an adventive in imported timber elsewhere in the UK. Found during an entomological trip to Scotland in May last year. Caledonian Pine Woods, Abernethy area, Scotland, UK. 2011-05-21.
