A very rare
Longhorn in Nottinghamshire, with the only known records
all coming from Sherwood Forest, where it was recorded in
1998 (Lott, D.) and in 2006 and 2007 (Dutton, A.). The most recent record is from
Clipstone Old Quarter, when the one below was found just
before midnight on the freshly fallen limb of a large Oak
in July 2016 (Pendleton,
T.A. and Pendleton, D.T.). Oak is the preferred host plant for the
larvae, but other woody plants and trees are used. It is
known to occur at MV light traps, but we never recorded
it in many years trapping within Sherwood Forest area. |
