49.040 Lozotaeniodes formosana (Orange Pine Tortrix)
ws: 20-26mm; Jun-Aug; Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris); first recorded in GB in 1945, now fairly common in S.England and S.Wales. May be found in areas far from any Scots pine - such as my garden in Westcliff-on-sea - suggesting that it is migratory.
