Carnation
Tortrix Cacoecimorpha pronubana (Hübner, 1799)  |
| Status
.....A common Tortrix across much of the
UK, with a distribution aided by the horticulture
industry. In Nottinghamshire, Carnation Tortrix is
probably a widespread moth of gardens in both urban and suburban areas, but there seem to
be relatively few records. The female is larger than the male and this
moth is easily recorded when flying during the day, as the hindwings are
conspicuously orange. |
