Back on August 10 2022 I caught a tiny moth which Obsidentify told me was a Beet Moth Scrobipalpa ocellatella.
A brief bit of research told me it shouldn't occur in Warwickshire, so I assumed the app had got another one wrong.
Since then records have appeared in Worcestershire and widely across southern England. The images I have seen look identical to my moth, so I am reinstating it as a candidate for the garden list.
Whether it turns out to be a first for Warwickshire, only time will tell.
