The Clifden nonpareil is one of the largest and most spectacular moths native to the UK but was believed to have become extinct in the 1960s

"There's never been a better chance of a thrilling encounter with this impressive insect."

Mark Tunmore, founder of Moth Night, said:"September is a special time for studying moths in the British Isles, with a colourful range of resident species mixing with more exotic species from Europe or even North Africa as warm air currents sweep them northwards.

"When we started Moth Night 20 years ago, this moth was a very rare immigrant but it is now becoming familiar to moth enthusiasts across southern Britain.
