Large yellow underwing moth
The large yellow underwing moth(Noctua pronuba) is a common moth of gardens and elsewhere. The rather drab brown forewings conceal brilliantly yellow hindwings which can be seen when the moth is disturbed from daytime roosts amongst grass and other plants. The male, pictured here, is darker than the female.
