'New' moth in UK!
For sure, there are millions of insects to be discovered over the World but this just goes to show that even in submetropolitan England there is something new to be found:
BBC - Earth News - New British moth found in Hembury Woods is world first
........ and by an amateur mother as well

That is good news, how exciting for Mr. Heckford and to have the moth named after him.
There are so many moths, macro and micro which look the same but are infact different species so it is easy to see how it has been missed all this time as an adult, but the larvae sounds so distinctive for that to have happened.
I will have to keep an eye out for the bright green larvae, too late to have it named after me but it would be nice to discover the first in Holland!
