Beet Moth flashback

 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.

Beet Moth ?
