Dahlica
lichenella (Linnaeus,
1761)  |
| Status
.....Nottinghamshire's first record of Dahlica
lichenella, was from a stone wall at Market Warsop
Cemetery in March 2006. Few records have followed, but we
recently (2016) confirmed the presence of this moth from
another site at Market Warsop site, from Sookholme village and
Nottingham City Hospital. In 2019, a larval
case was found on fence post at the RSPB's Langford Lowfields NR. A
much rarer species than Dahlica inconspicuella, who's larvae produces
a very similar case, not usually covered
with any algae growth and found in late Winter/early Spring. |
