Another Australian moth in the UK

[davholla1]

AFAIK this doesn't cause any problems although I would love to travel back in time 500 years and see what the fauna was then

Ruddy Streak
Tachystola acroxantha The real size is 3.74 mm, magnification is 1.68 Bromley from <a href="Tachystola acroxantha | UKmoths" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/tachystola-acroxantha</a>

"Wingspan 13-15mm.

An adventive species, which was first noted in Devon in 1908, and was probably imported with Australian plants. In recent years it has expanded its range rapidly northwards to Lancashire, and is quite common in some areas.

The larvae feed on withered leaves and leaf-litter, and the colourful adults can occur between May and September, when they are attracted to light."
This is one of two Australian moths I regularly see the other being Light Brown Apple Moth
(Epiphyas postvittana)

Eudonia lacustrata
Little Grey, Bromley from my garden
Wingspan 15-20 mm.

One of the more distinctive of the Scopariinae, identifiable by its rather plain creamy or greyish central portion of the wing.

The larvae feed on mosses, usually on walls or tree-trunks.

Flying in July and August, this species has a distribution over most of Great Britain.
