I agree with you - the second picture looks near identical:
1688 Tawny Wave Scopula rubiginata
(Hufnagel, 1767)
Wingspan 15-20 mm.
Confined as a breeding species to parts of East Anglia, this species is also noted occasionally as a migrant, mainly to the south and east coasts.
There are two generations of the moth, in June and July, and again in August and September.
It prefers sandy terrain, such as sand dunes, and that found in the Breckland district, and the larvae feed on dandelion (Taraxacum and knotgrass (Polygonum).
ooh how exciting! a Tawny Wave Scopula rubiginata, sounds very exotic. I used to be terrified of moths, but loved butterflies, so have learnt to love the nocturnal flyers! going to call this one SPUD!
I'm absolutely terrified of the bloody things. If that was in my bathroom I'd never go in there again. Last time one got into the bathroom (whilst i was in the shower), I went absolutely hysterical :embarrassed:
