Summary

Description
English: Prominent moth This fluffy little fellow had entered our building and was snoozing on the ceiling at first, he then fluttered to near my desk where I took this shot. He is an example of a group of moths called Prominents, because (I believe) of the little ridges and bumps on their backs where the wings meet. The closest match that I can find for him (or her) is a Pale Prominent (Pterostoma palpina) ( Cf https://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?bf=2011 ) though all examples that I have found on the web lack both the dark diagonal band (which was actually more noticeable than this photo suggests) and the tiny white "eyes" on black lozenges towards the rear. Perhaps it is a subspecies or simply a variant.
