Rare miro-moth pair recorded in Hampshire for first time

A pair of tiny moths have been recorded for the first time in Hampshire.
The two moths, the chocolate-brown Gelechia scotinella and Haplotinea insectella with shimmering scales were found at Pamber Forest Nature Reserve, near Tadley north of Basingstoke.
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust said the "first-ever Hampshire records" of the "micro-moths, often overlooked because of their small size and difficulty of identification...had made county history".
