Another moth on 26th August, this one looks very much like Noctua janthina but it's a rare immigrant from the continent, and unlikely to be in Lincolnshire.

It's smaller than Noctua pronuba and lacks the blackish 'triangles' near the wing base edge.

This one has a very purplish hue from some angles.

The underwing has a broader black band, with black streaking from the top leaving only a small area of orange.
