Uresiphita gilvata

 This is Uresiphita gilvata, in my garden trap this morning. Part of the enormous influx of migrants we have had in the past week or so. I've also had 2 Palpita vitrealis. There has also been Crimson Speckled in Oxfordshire (Bletchington) and another vitrealis in Garsington. I'm surprised nothing else has been reported from our area, tbh. It may still be worth looking for CS in open, grassy habitats by day. Searches on the Suffolk coast yesterday produced 14.

    Hi Martin - is this the Crimson Speckled record, or a second one? The location seems to be somewhere near Little Milton: https://twitter.com/Baynes_Al/status/1586737632347824128?s=20&t=hUNyejcF4tZYSDDOfR6PNg

    The Little Milton one is a separate record to the Bletchington one - both are visible on iRecord

    ...and both Uresiphita gilvata (Didcot) and Crimson Speckled (Earley) have been reported from Berks (VC22) in the last couple of days.
