49.278 .... B&F 1171
Gypsonoma minutana (Hübner, 1799)
Status .....First recorded in Nottinghamshire in August 2012, by Tim Sexton in an Attenborough garden. Tim followed this record up with a second on Long Lane, Attenborough in August 2013 and it was recorded from Colwick, by Tom Shields in July 2020. The one attracted to MV light at Lound Wood in July 2026, is the only other record I'm aware of, but it has likely occurred elsewhere in Nottinghamshire over recent years. Both lower photographs were kindly supplied by Tim Sexton.
