ORANGE UNDERWING MOTH

Well my title for this video is a little micky take at the fact that lots of Butterfly and Moth websites do not seem to know what they are doing and several do not even mention the Latin names?!

Ooh boy that is a big NO-NO!! It is imperative to include Latin names as it can be the only way to distinguish and thousands of species and then some do not have common names.

Even I have had to bite the bullet and look up the names because it is just the right thing to do!!

LMAO!

So it is Orange and a Noctua genus moth, lol.

ORANGE UNDERWING MOTH

OK this is a prime example with the pitfalls of the internet, something I cannot get through to one member of my family!

I know this Moth is an Underwing and it looks Orange but I only remember Yellow and Red. I found this moth listed as Lesser Yellow Underwing, Yellow Underwing and Orange Underwing.

Now I know that somoetimes idiots name things by colour and do not get it right.

This Moth is Orange. If it look Orange in the pictures that is because it is, lol. One picture I found of this moth was also on an American website so.... I dunno maybe it very widespread, lol.

Also rather annoyingly is quite a few websites do not list the Latin either and in fact the only one I could find that closest resembled this moth is Noctua comes wich is the Lesser Yellow UNderwing which I do not think this is.

Another site to do with UK Butterfly Conservation looked pretty impressive until I was unable to find a single Underwing Moth with the same Upper Wing markings as this one?!

Nothing came close and I checked them all and I found myself scratching my head wondering why this Butterfly Conservation organisation have pictures of Moths totally different to this one as did a site about Moths in Norfolk?!

So out of all the UK web-pages I do not find a single moth that exactly resembles this one except for that of an American site?! They called it an Orange Underwing but had no Latin name!

Ooooh man!!

RYAN?!?! Lol.
