Six-Spot Burnet

The Forester

A very local moth in Kent, restricted mostly to the Sandwich area where it can be readily found by day.  Other records away from Sandwich can be seen into West Kent and to make things even trickier with Scarce Forester - the Dover area too.  Care is needed to separate the three Forester species; additional literature describes differences in the wing shape and antennae of the males.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Cistus Forester

Not known to the Kent database, but other literatures suggests this moth has been recorded in Kent historically.  It is still found in Sussex so may yet return(?) to Kent.  Clearly a smaller moth than the other two species - it is one to keep an eye out for.
