Toadflax Brocade in Canton

My colleague Elaine brought this in with the various moths she found near her home in Canton. Apparently it was flying around some Purple Toadflax, so looks like it'll be a Cardiff resident for at least another year!

  3. Hi Chris, it was Dave who posted that.

    I'm quite relieved though - after writing an Atropos article on the colonisation of Wales by this species in 2015 there had been no reports at all this year...until now.

    Nice photo.
