Extra is Muslin moth which is sexually dimorphic i.e. the sexes look different. Normally the male is charcoal and the female white. The females are much rarer so I was delighted to see one in the trap. However the feathery antenna made me suspicious and a quick Google informed me that in Ireland the males are in fact also creamy white.. If you have read this far congratulations you are an honorary moth nerd,
