To be found in a wardrobe near you

Birds are my prime passion in life but are closely followed by an avid interest in moths. Knowing this our neighbour popped around earlier with this guy to be identified.

It's a Brown House Moth - Hofmannophila pseudospretella a very common moth in the UK which apparently is an Asian species introduced into Europe in the 1840s. The wonderful habits of the larvae (caterpillar) includes feeding on all the detritus that accumulates indoors behind skirting boards and other hidden places around the home.
