Campion
Sideridis (Hadena) rivularis
Attenborough, Nottinghamshire, England - June 2013
The purple tinge on the forewings (especially on the cross-line below the kidney marks, the central area and along the leading edge) distinguish individuals from all other similar species in Britain. The purple colour does, however, fade fairy quickly and older adults can be confused with the Lychnis (H. bicruris)
