Bernard Clark became the first person to add a new macro-moth to the county list in 2020, with his Passenger moth at the beginning of July. Ian Sims was next, with the first Langmaid's Yellow Underwing record in August. In September Marc Botham joined in with Clancy's Rustic.

And the latest addition is Radford's Flame Shoulder, found in October by Suzanne Parrott. All credit to John Thacker for correctly picking out Suzanne's photos on iRecord as a candidate for Radford's rather than the normal Flame Shoulder, and thanks to Steve Nash for providing further confirmation.

There have been new macros added to the county list in every year now since 2014:

• 2015: Gypsy Moth and Crescent Dart

• 2016: Dewick's Plusia and Oak Rustic

• 2017: Olive Crescent

• 2018: Southern Chestnut and Feathered Ranunculus

• 2019: Beautiful Marbled

Plus the four species (so far!) for 2020 (click on images to see all four). Who knows what will be next?
