Moths are very variable from species to species, but they can also be variable compared to others of the same species. Most of the time this is due to the 'strength' of the markings and colours... so that some can have very strongly defined markings, whereas others can be much more muted

It does mean that some species of moth are difficult to ID, so that similar species which are variable can then overlap with others

A case in point is the Brown Spot Pinion, which looks very similar to the Beaded Chestnut at first glance

A difference is the very narrow black 'kidney mark', which both of my pictures show, even if they look different from each other

I didn't expect one so late in October

Ah, well in which case, consider this a special 'Fall Edition', just for you! 🍂🦋

I'd like to try another in November/December, but we'll see how the weather goes!
