Getting more common in Warks probably more down to observer awareness! But I've only ever seen them 3 times (twice in Warks then multiple sightings in Suffolk)

Yeah Sean (moth IDUK agrees with the ID aswell ) considering it was absolutely bucketing it down ๐Ÿ™‚ not sure how scarce they are in Warks I'm sure David Brown will let us know!
