Interesting to see it dancing around on a slug - I wonder what it was there for!

Do you think these are suckers from the roots or seedlings?
If the forest trees are all the one variety, there must be some other planted variety (or the rootstock variety) flowering within pollinator range, to overcome the self incompatibility for fruit development.
No matter why, fruiting means invasive and a reason to argue for removal.

I've realised this is not Leptocneria reducta e.g. both male & female have feathery antennae. Looking again I think this moth has claviform (club-like) spots extending from antemedial lines as is found in e.g. Agrotis sp,. Ectopatria sp. The head, mane and thorax shape also fits with this group. I don't think this is the ID (has dashes on the termen, not dots like moth above) but if you look at some of the paler images on this page, focusing on dark markings, not pale ones, you can see corresponding features.

What do you think?
Leptocneria reducta
