I also had one in the house last night Trevor.
I don't pretend to be a mother (but I am a father)
This one was very brown on top with a pink fringe.
Would it be ssp bolealis - or am I stringing?

Could be borealis although there is some good colour variation with this moth with the brightest individuals in the south, and much duller specimens in Scotland, attributable to the subspecies borealis.
