The Fulvous Pearl Moth Udea
fulvalis is an uncommon migrant to the UK
from continental Europe. The individual shown in these photographs was
attracted to light in South London (not an area normally associated with this Crambid
micro-moth), and its perfect condition indicates that it may have bred locally,
using White Dead-nettle Lamium album as
a larval food-plant, rather than having migrated. With thanks to Richard
Lewington and Sean Foote for confirming the identification.
