Rare Clavigesta at Bawdsey

Another rare micro has now been identified from the moth night at Bawdsey picnic area on 26 July.

This time the nationally scarce pine-feeding Clavigesta sylvestrana was taken – not the most stunning of the tortricidae and I’m grateful to Neil for identifying the moth. It would appear to be the first time its been seen in Suffolk since 1948 when Morley and Burton swept it at Blythburgh.
