Photos taken in Reading, UK, on 2013-09-18. I thought it might be a Sturmia bella but then noticed it has hairy eyes. tristram attached the following image:  [129.17Kb] |

Interesting - obviously not Sturmia but not sure what it is - did you take a specimen?

No specimen but I will see if I can get one this weekend (the weather forecast for this area looks quite promising). |

Just a punt without checking anything - Lydella? |

Lydella has bare eyes as well ! It looks 'Sturmiini' indeed and there is one 1 reclincate orbital seta, a big clue. But I cannot give a definitive opinion yet Theo |

Is it a female Eumea linearicornis? (A drop of moisture is hiding the centre line on the thorax?) Steve |

I can see only 4 black vittae on the thorax (which disagrees with Eumea) But it is difficult to see ! Theo |
