Golden Twin-spot
Chrysodeixis chalcites

Morley's Final Catalogue: Not listed. The first county record was in 1986, at Nowton (R. Eley).

Recent Suffolk Status: Scarce immigrant, mainly in the autumn. Has become more regular in recent years. Thought to have established breeding populations (which may only be temporary) in Kent so some of our moths may originate from there.

Life history: Multi-brooded on the continent.

Identification: Fairly unmistakeable.

Habitat: Mainly seen near the coast, occasionally inland.

Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required.
