Scarce Tissue (Rheumaptera cervinalis). Berberisduskmåler. 

Caddis flies (Trichoptera) are also caught in Light traps. This one is one of very few that are unmistakable, and can easily be identified as Glyphotaelius pellucidalis based on the wing shape and characteristic patterning. It can even be sexes as a male, since males are more strongly patterned.
