Dahlica
inconspicuella (Stainton, 1849)  |
Status
.....One case found at Lound Wood in
March 2006. Fairly common at Sherwood Forest, most
especially around the Country Park area. In early 2010,
we found three cases during casual searches of tree
trunks and found three active larva, ascending the trunks
of trees.
Following the discovery of Bankesia conspurcatella
in Nottinghamshire in early 2021, any moth similar to Dahlica
inconspicuella should really be checked, especially if recorded
from urban areas. |
