Presently still a rare Longhorn in Nottinghamshire, but seems to be colonising
the Trent Valley from former gravel workings in the south near Nottingham,
to at least one site much further north. There are records from Netherfield Ash Lagoons, Colwick CP and
Holme Pierrepont in the south of the Trent Valley, but there has been a
record from the Idle Valley NR in 2019 and from Clipstone Old Quarter
(Sherwood Forest NNR) in May 2024. Our thanks go to Phil Lee, for
kindly allowing us to use his photographs below |
