A female Earias species (related to the Cream-bordered Green Pea) and the second for the UK came to mv 20-21 May in Denham, Bucks.
The two possible species are from the Asian/Australasian region, and Earias roseifera is now known in Northern Italy where the larvae damage Azalea buds. Earias roseoviridis is almost identical but has not yet occurred in Europe. Genetic studies will determine which of the two the Denham specimen belongs to.
