Probably a
fairly widespread species in Nottinghamshire, but despite
the NBN Atlas showing a number of historical records from
the county, there are just a couple of modern records.
Across the UK, Palloptera muliebris has a
patchy distribution with a distinct coastal distribution
in some areas and is often found near Sycamore. The one
below was found indoors at Ravenshead by David and
Veronica McGeever in late July 2018 and there have been a number of
recent records from Market Warsop Langold and Stapleford. Our thanks go to
Pauline Bradford (below left photograph) and David McGeever (below right
photograph) for kindly allowing us to use their photographs
below. |
