The Forester
Adscita statices
Family: Zygaenidae
RES: 54.002 B&F: 163
Verification Grade (Adult):
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.
