A new moth for the Research Station caused a mini-twitch.  A Red-belted Clearwing was found by Ross on a apple tree (its host plant). An elusive and fascinating little critter.




The twitch!

Adam ,
Looks like the area is good for Clearwings , after finding a Six-Belted specimen at Ditton Quarry with Mike .

Adam, I think I may have met you and had a chat with you at Oare on Tuesday. We discussed the Whinchat I had seen at Dans Dock. Have posted some shots on the KOS Gallery .
