Some thoughts on:
Finding Nemophora metallica on the chalk hill
by Ed Baker
Successfully finding the Scabious Longhorn Moth (Nemophora metallica) in the NHM Gardens (with David Lees and Maja Petric).

There are no historical records and the earliest report is from 2012 at Heathrow (Causeway nature reserve - an unvalidated record submitted to iRecord). This was followed by one at the Natural History Museum’s wildlife garden in South Kensington in 2017 – and again in 2020. The origin of these moths is perhaps questionable as the moths may have been imported on plants from other sites.”
