Until 2025, this longhorn was only known from Nottinghamshire on
the basis of two historical records from 1911 and 1927. But then quite
remarkably (but not totally unusually) there were two county records
within a week in June 2025. The one illustrated below, was found and
photographed by David Shaw at Blidworth Woods, but another also turned
up in the Budby South Forest.Sherwood Forest CP border (probably along
Seymour Grove) but no recorder details have been given. Many thnks to
David for supplying the photographs for the website below. |
