Yellow Horned (Achlya flavicornis)
Yellow Horned (Achlya flavicornis)

Previously considered scarce in Northern Ireland, but this may have been due to it's early flight season. In North Antrim it was only known from Breen wood, but recent monitoring has found it also present at Garry Bog and Murlough Bay. Larvae are Birch feeders.
