The pair!

Last week on July 11th I caught the rare Light crimson underwing moth, and last night I could scarcely believe it when I also caught the Dark crimson underwing!
The Dark crimson underwing Catocala sponsa is another rare red data book 3 species, which also feeds on oak! - though this one is probably a migrant.
I couldn’t. Believe I had caught both moths in just over a week, and according to the County Moth Recorder I am the first person in Sussex to do so in the last 160 years!!
