B&F: 2428

ABH: 73.008

Status: Accidental.

Distribution and Abundance:  Rare.

Record: 25 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.
