It was like a small pink bat! Moths can get here (to Britain) in cars or caravans even freight from the continent. I think that is probably how it got here. It would have nothing to mate with, and sadly die, and without spreading it's genes. I am assuming that it is not native here? Baz They are British natives They are indeed and have been recorded over much of southern England but I have not yet been lucky enough to spot one. -- rbel |
