Silver Y

Flight period: April to October.

The Silver Y is a well-known immigrant moth which can turn up in thousands under the right conditions especially at coastal migration watch-points. They can be seen by day as well as at night and can occur anywhere in the UK. In autumn the breeding population from spring migrants is swelled by further immigration.
