Celypha (Syricoris) lacunana
This small moth - known as the common marble or dark strawberry tortrix - was resting on some bramble leaves in the Chester Zoo ex-MOD land. Like the nettle tap it has a deep indentation between the wing tips at rest. However, their markings are sufficiently different to tell them apart by picture comparison.
It has two scientific names. On iRecord it's known as Syricoris, but on iNat it's Celypha (although Syricoris is recognised). Wildlife recording is such fun!
