Alternatively, it may simply be less attracted to light or it may actually be less common. It does appear to be widely distributed in Merionethshire and Caernarvonshire but its true status is hard to assess. <br><br> The moth often spends the day at rest on a rock surface and is remarkably hard to spot - as is well demonstrated by the photograph.</p> <p class="content"> &nbsp;</p> <p class="content"> Further information available from the <a href="http://www.trawsgoed.com/nwleps.aspx?tp=mac&Let=W" target="noframe"> NW Lepidoptera Database</a>, including access to detailed records, maps, flight-time charts and photographs.</p> </td> </tr> <tr><td colspan="3" class="sidebar">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="../../images/top.gif" width="10" height="10" hspace="4" border="0"><a href="#top"><SPAN class="thispage">Top of page</SPAN></a> | <a href="../moths.html"><SPAN class="thispage">Regional Species</SPAN></a></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="3" align="right"> <table border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"><tr><td align="right"><h5><SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="../../_scripts/copyright.js"></SCRIPT></h5></td></tr></table> </td></tr> </table> </body> </html>
