An extremely rare moth discovered during a nature walk at a Dorset farm is a “significant find", according to experts.

Dr Jack Oughton, from Dorset Moth Group, came across two of the moths, known as the Gold-fringed Dot, at Bere Marsh Farm in Shillingstone.

The tiny creatures, which have a wingspan of 6 to 6.8mm, were also inspected by experts who confirmed the finding.
