The 'extremely rare' insect is spotted at the same site in the Borders it was last seen in 1980.
A rare micro-moth has turned up more than 40 years after it was last seen in the UK - at the very same remote wetland in the Scottish Borders.But only three previous sightings have ever been made on the British Isles.
"You hope it is something special but I wasn't sure, so I took a photograph and sent it to an expert asking for help. The only other two sightings ever made in the UK came in 1979 and 1980, by renowned lepidopterist Dr Keith Bland, at the Ettrick Marshes.
