I recorded 6 here on 13th of this month at the regular site and found a new site for it on the 9th.

Looks to be good for neurica. So Suffolk no longer the only centre for the species. I’ve had a couple recently so they seem to be doing well in Suffolk this year. Though that can be said for many species this year.

I have replied about the fact neurica has a skinny abdomen too as another feature to check but the photos don’t show this. Moth has been retained so hopefully will get to the bottom of the id.
Not heard of it being a migrant species, although it must make some local movements as it has been spreading in Suffolk. It could occur in Somerset as there is a lot of reedbed down there around the levels area. Will be an interesting record if confirmed.
