While you’re here Andy, do you reckon you could add Hypsopygia nostralis to the PSL website please? Found it new to Britain exactly a year ago, although surely imported mothdissection.co.uk/species.php?...

The site seemed to have vegetated with Sea Milkwort quite rapidly from last year’s visit and I found it on a low west-facing bank (bottom right of photo) at the very east of the site in the evening sun @britishspiders.bsky.social
