This is the 13e idaea sp. on a row that I upload. Sorry it is not sharp on every spot,but a I'm very glad to share it with you.
Idaea sylvestraria(Hübner, 1799) / Dotted Border Wave / Randstipspanner / Weisslichgrauer Zwergspanner / l'Acidalie sylvestre.
Wingspan 20-23 mm.
Superficially similar to several other Idaea species, but with a distinct black spot centrally on the forewing, and a row of dark indistinct spots along the outer fringe.
The species inhabits dry heathland, and occurs most commonly in the southern English counties, though it also occurs locally further north in England.
The adults are on the wing in July and August, when they are attracted to light.
The larval foodplants are low plants such as dandelion (Taraxacum) and knotgrass (Polygonum).
