Since then, nobody else has been able to collect any further specimens, and the moth has not been seen alive.
Kathleen Mary Drew-Baker 1901-1957 was known for her research on edible seaweed which led to a breakthrough for commercial cultivation of sushi. Her scientific legacy is revered in Japan, & she is named Mother of the Sea. This is seaweed collected by Kathleen & in our collection
