Common Lutestring

Ochropacha duplaris

Family: Drepanidae

RES: 65.013 B&F: 1657

Verification Grade (Adult):

Distributed locally across Kent, this species is more likely to be found close to the coast than Satin Lutestring but occurs in most habitats, including gardens.

It can be separated particularly from Satin Lutestring by the presence (normally) of two dark 'dots' in the middle of the forewing and the presence of a 'dash' starting at the tip of the forewing (on Satin Lutestring this 'dash' starts well before the tip of the forewing).
