During the past few years as County Recorder I get given moths and they go home into the fridge till I get round to sorting them out. Some are easy and others well it's an uphill struggle. Mike Ridge and I had a SMG meeting at Draycott Sleights notable for it being very cold and windy which still did nothing to blow away the stench from dogs. However during the evening I boxed up this very colourful pink moth. About tortrix size but on reflection I thought it was a Small Purple Barred. Right sort of habitat and right time of year. I took a quick picture then popped it in the fridge as usual. There it stayed and still is but as I am now far from home I forgot the moth until about a month later when I saw James and on seeing the picture he gave it some more thought. To cut the story short it was not a Small Purple Barred but as I had originally thought a tortrix. Having run this by Phil Sterling , He confirmed that the moth was Celypha rosaceana. There are 4 records for the moth from Turner in the fifties from Bickenhall with a record from Haywood in 1913 from Watchet. So this was a bit of a shock to say the least. I am surprised such a pretty moth and very obvious has not been recorded. The moral of this story is please keep the moth. To all those still in the fridge their day will come
