Dark Crimson Underwing
This Dark Crimson Underwing (Catocala sponsa) was caught in a 80W MV trap on 20/7/2014 at St Margaret's at Cliffe. In the UK it only occurs as a breeding species in the New Forest and is a rare migrant to Kent.
Teasing the wing open allows the characteristic "W" on the underwing to show.
When it was released it perched awhile giving an unusual view of the underside.
