They can be quite variable in markings.<br /><br />Looking at your year list though, I don't think its going to make too much of a difference either way! <br /><br />Cheers, BillBilly Dykeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840933193238325733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82473023139760274.post-33585806469916440382011-06-19T13:03:02.772+01:002011-06-19T13:03:02.772+01:00desertella has been ruled outdesertella has been ruled outTrent Duvalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03375081875501120850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-82473023139760274.post-55512306350856432642011-06-19T09:46:29.408+01:002011-06-19T09:46:29.408+01:00It appears to be more like Bryotropha than Depress...It appears to be more like Bryotropha than Depressaria.
