Hi there,
over the past few weeks, up to eight Dewick's Plusia Moths have been trapped or seen at Beddington SF, Greater London/Surrey. Since Dewick's Plusia is supposed to be a vagrant to Britain, we find this pretty amazing.

We are trying to get more details on this moth so if anyone can give an opinion why they are turning up on this site in numbers, what their up to date UK status is (I can only find 2 previous Surrey records), or if an influx has been noted anywhere I'd be grateful for any info. Site details here:
