Herr Falukorv Posted February 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Interesting... I found a moth here in sweden a couple of years ago by accident. It was sitting on my sons bicycle on our porch.. Ah beutiful I thought and took a photo of it and put it on my facebook. It took 5 minutes then a friend of mine called me and asked if it was still there. Yes I said and he asked me to take more photos of it and send to him.. It turned out to be a moth that had only been observed once before in sweden. I dont remember its name unfortunately.. Of course more people have seen them here but they have not reported it.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
