That’s not good. It’s a pretty little moth. But it doesn’t belong here.
To be honest I knew nothing about it until JJB’s comments yesterday. They’ve not made it this far yet. I don’t think.
So many invasive insects setting up home here and messing up the natural balance. Asian hornets are another one. They are making their way up here. They’ve got as far as the borders. Flat worms have made it onto the island in a few places. Luckily not our bit. Hope it stays that way.
