Argyresthia
cupressella (Walsingham, 1890)  |
||
| Status .....Originally a North American species, Argyresthia cupressella is found in the UK after being introduced here via the horticultural trade. It was first recorded in Suffolk as recently as 1997 and there are records as far west as Wales, but very few from Midland counties. Despite the lack of records, this moth is probably widespread in many urban and suburban areas of Nottinghamshire. The moths photographed, represent the first records for Nottinghamshire. | ||
