New moth species from Guyana discovered in a house in Wales

Available for over a year

Daisy Cadet, an ecologist by profession, spotted the insects at home in Wales. She posted a picture on social media and experts at London's Natural History Museum eventually identified them as a type of clearwing moth which was previously unknown. It's thought the moths travelled in the bag of Cadet's mother, who went to Guyana a few months earlier.
