.....Larval cases found at Nottingham City Hospital in
July 2006, represented the first Nottinghamshire record. Further cases
were subsequently found on street trees at Mapperley and at
Clipstone near Mansfield, with a surprising first Sherwood Forest NNR
record coming in 2011. Other records have followed, including larval
cases at Besthorpe NR in 2017, New Basford, Warsop Main Pit Top and
Longdale Lane near Ravenshead in 2019. Now proven to be much more
widespread than was originally thought. |
