Influx of Orthosia miniosa – the Blossom Underwing

Readers may be interested to hear that an influx of Blossom Underwing is currently taking place. This is not a new phenomenon with previous influxes documented on the website. However, with migrants coming in from the near continent it is an exciting event and examples of this moth are certainly worth looking out for.

Last night (31 March) saw immigration on a broad front from Dungeness to Bawdsey (where two moths arrived). Another was noted at Landguard Bird Observatory. There is a good chance of more turning up in the next week.
