It may be Drab but it's a good 'un

Last year I netted a Drab Clothes Moth Haplotinea insectella at Warham Greens.  Jon Clifton gen detted it to confirm and it proved to be the first modern day record for Norfolk (4 previous records were in the 1800s).  On 20th August I caught a similar-looking moth at home and have now dissected it.  It is indeed another Drab Clothes Moth Haplotinea insectella - the second modern day county record.
