Nationally scarce moth found in Lost Valley!
1st September 2011
Yet another exciting find for us here at Heligan, a Yellow-legged Clearwing moth - Synanthedon vespiformis
The Yellow-legged Clearwing is an Nb* Scarce List species and has not been recorded in Cornwall since 1973. With only 7 recorded in this area (VC2) since 1931. Most of these have been recorded in June/July, with only one being in August, so this is a very good record!
