Well that's the 5th record since 2002 for that area. Nothing before that.Peter Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828069795222628270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283284400500701797.post-85506584308199986562016-07-30T20:31:55.516+01:002016-07-30T20:31:55.516+01:00I agree. It looks right to me.
No prior Worcesters...I agree. It looks right to me.<br />No prior Worcestershire records. There is a record for it from Kinver Edge, Staffs. in 1980, just the wrong side of the VC boundary. There are also very old records from Herefordshire, but it was considered extinct there when Mike and Tony published their atlas in 2004. There is a note in the entry saying there had been only 2 recent records in the UK at that time. Things have clearly improved since then as the moth now appears to be reasonably regular in the Suffolk at least.<br />A great find.<br />Oliver Wadsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00646862657692237097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283284400500701797.post-60021906945533254222016-07-30T17:17:03.077+01:002016-07-30T17:17:03.077+01:00Looks good to me Pete.
