The DWT team ran their Moth trap overnight before my normal volunteering on the Brownsea reserve. Taise, one of the DWT team, was showing the Moths off to the public. This Pyralid Moth caught my eye as I didn't recognise it. Talking to one of the wardens, Nicki, later in the day provided the name: Migrant Sable (Diasemiopsis ramburialis). It is a scarce migrant species which has been encountered mainly on the South Coast between Jun and Oct. The Dorset Moths website mentions twenty-one records up to 2006, with a photo of one in 2022. There will be more Dorset records that haven't made it onto the website. But it still looks like a nice migrant record and a Moth Tick for me.
