A moth new to science and found nowhere else in the world has been formally recognised as living in the UK. http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8647000/8647558.stm All best wishes, Penny Penny Green Species Officer Sussex Biodiversity Record Centre http://sxbrc.org.uk | 01273 497521 Sussex Wildlife Trust is a company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act.
