November 1997 Sywell (J. Dunkley).
Observations: The
moth was found indoors and was almost certainly imported
in some cut flowers that were purchased from a local
Tesco store. Subsequent investigations revealed an empty
pupal case in a rolled up rose leaf amongst the bouquet.
Enquiries of the importer revealed that the flowers were
most likely to have come from Kenya.
First Record: 1997,
Dunkley.
