Puzzling moth 27.09.11

ruby tiger (late record)
A moth arrived in the trap last night that had me reaching for the field guides. A few photos were taken, in the dark using flash. Not the best way to get good results of colour. It suddenly dawned on me that it was not a new moth, just a dark form of ruby tiger. This was a most common moth throughout the summer! However, this is a very late record of such and consequently the record has been forwarded to the county recorder.
