The Annulet

Caught at St Margaret's at Cliffe 1/9/2011

Annulet (Charissa obscurata)

Only my second record of this species. Specimens from chalky areas are particularly pale.

The Annulet

'Please find enclosed what was a very exciting find last night (on the kitchen window) in the shape of an Annulet, a very scarce moth indeed in Kent. I caught the moth in Aylesham, East Kent. I have had a great year with 450 species in the garden alone this year.' Dave Henton (?)
