Asian moth

My friend and I found the above moth in a shower block at Hurley Berks on Sun 12th Oct.We realised it was unusual to us but it was not until we saw the article in the newspaper that it was an unusual species for Britain.We will look out to see if we can spot another.Who do we contact if we do?

second sighting

Heather,

Thanks for the information, very exciting that you've seen another specimen. If you have a photo it would be great to see it on iSpot.

I'd be interested to know exactly where you saw it in Hurley (i.e. a postcode or street name would do), please contact me via:

which would also be a good route to report any others that you may come across.
