Robert (from the frozen north of Birmingham, UK) told us that Greater Wax Moth are rare there but more common further south.  A lepidopterist (moth fan) friend of mine told me, years ago, that on the occasions when he found Greater Wax Moths in his moth traps there were also others that were normally found only to the south of the English Channel, strongly suggesting that they had got here in Doret, on the south coast of England, with the assistance of a following wind.  That must have been the biggest part of 20 years ago and they are now well established, possibly a symptom of global warming.
