An unexpected find

At last I have won the battle with Google's and my computer's reluctance to allow me to post here!!!!!
My 92 year old Mother is in a local care home. She has a lifelong, knowledge and love of Natural History and has been following my Moth trapping with great interest. Today one of her carers pointed out a tiny moth high up on the wall (Mum is training them all to look for moths!) It turned out to be a Many Plumed Moth.
Common, but new to her and me and a source of great pleasure that she was able to add to my Moth List

    I meant of course, Twenty Plumed Moth.

    Possibly a silly question. Do you record these accidental finds?

    Yes please - one-off finds are useful to supplement trap records. Please don't add them to your main site spreadsheet though: best written down and emailed to me with date and grid reference at end of year. Thanks
