This is a described as a common and widespread species, found
throughout the UK, but becoming somewhat more coastal further north.
Despite being common, there are few recent Nottinghamshire records. Most
of these have come from the sandy soils of the Sherwood Forest/Clumber
Park areas, with an exception being the ones photographed and supplied
to us by Peter Smith, found at Netherfield Lagoons in 2017. The male is
ilustrated lower right. Our thanks go to Peter for kindly allowing us to
use his photographs on the website. |
