Dark-bordered Pearl Evergestis limbata

This species was first found in Norfolk in 2013 and has spread rapidly in the last few years (see Norfolk Moths).

My first example was no great surprise, though welcome.

As is often the way with new colonisers, once you see one you soon start seeing lots. The year after my first I caught seven between 28th June and 18th September.
