The yellow does puzzle me. How large is it? Polio nebulosa is a real large Noctuid compared to the other sp. in Europe. I checked my identification book and I think it might be Polymixis flavicincta yellowish form ? I might be wrong but this would be my best suggestion for now.
This year I caught my first Polia nebulosa ever and it is a wonderful great moth. The specimen was completely A1 and I cannot await to photograph it properly in christmas holidays, maybe I will post a pic in "show your favorite" then.

Certainly not right for Polia nebulosa... As Claude suggests, Polymixis would be a good bet... Attachments:

at a second look it looks nailed on to be the large ranaculus polymixis flavicincta, cheers guys, wingspan is around 1 3/4 inches.

I never would of guessed that you liked noctuid moths Dunc. I collect tons of them in Tennessee and California everytime I've gone blacklighting. If you are interested in NA species, let me know and I can send you some.  |

We have so few butterflies in England that I decided to switch to moths, I am finding it a struggle as a lot. of them look alike to me, I always welcome additions that will help me learjn more.

I will keep that in mind when I'm out collecting next year. I will get you some goodies. That goes with some butterflies as well.

For butterflies: Papilio glaucus, troilus, and polyxenes, Eurytides marcellus, Battus philenor, Asterocampa sp. Basilarchia archippus and astyanax(or artemis now). Other nymphalids, many lycaenids and falcate orangetips in the spring. As for moths, there are many types of saturnidae and sphingidae. I collect and rear Actias luna and Callosamia promethea and angulifera. We also have the Cecropia, Royal walnut, and if lucky, the cynthia moth. Many noctuids and geometers. The main ones are the catocalas and there are many species here.
