 Ovipositing and mating on Centaurea (nigra, I think) in a small water meadow in Yorkshire UK. It looks like the photos I have found of U jaceana, except that the two distal wing bars are separated in the male.

 Sorry to resurrect this, but after seeing Jarif's new gallery pics I'm still not sure about the male wing pattern. Is the host plant enough to establish this as U jaceana, or is there another possibility?

 Yes Stefen, the host plant is OK; its habitus is a bit different from the continental, but Ian White and I discussed that variability 20 years ago... There is nothing to chose from but jaceana in the UK...

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
