Toadflax Brocade Moth

The Toadflax Brocade is in the rarest category of resident moths in the UK, being present in fewer than 15 10km squares in the entire country. However it's spreading rapidly from the south and east so will probably lose this status next time they're updated. Still it's a rare moth to find in Oxon and one turned up in my garden overnight.
