.....This may well be a relatively common miner across
Nottinghamshire, but a mine found on Sorrel at Sherwood Heath in early
September 2011 (Pendleton, T.A.
and Pendleton, D.T.), was the first county record. There have
been subsequent records from other heathland sites, including Rainworth
Heath NR in 2020 and Budby South Forest in 2021. One of the world's
smallest moths, some adults having just a 3mm wingspan. |
