Appears to be uncommon and restricted in the UK, but is regarded by some
sources to be somewhat under-recorded. Its main UK stronghold is west
parts of Norfolk and Suffolk, with a scattering of records elsewhere
which includes several from South Yorkshire. The one in the accompanying
photographs, was found by Tim Sexton, on the site of the former Rufford
Colliery at Rainworth in June 2020. Mignonette (Reseda lutea)
is the hostplant and as this is often common on many brownfield sites,
Bruchela rufipes could yet turn up at a number of other
brownfield sites. |
