  1. Hi Sven, Your white spotted pug is either Currant or Wormwood I'm afraid...

  2. Hi Stewart, thanks for this. It's good to have some input; I have found the pugs to be particularly difficult. Looking back at the reference sources, I see your point about this one. The specimen was found on the night of 21/22 August. This and the shape of the black central spot and the presence of a couple of faint black marks in the broken subterminal line suggest to me that this must then be a Currant pug, Eupithecia assimilata. What do you reckon?
