Micropterix aruncella (Scopoli, 1763) | ||
Status .....One of the two most widespread of the Micropterix species found in Nottinghamshire. It is especially common throughout the Sherwood Forest area of the county and will no doubt be found elsewhere. Often overlooked because of its minute size, but these moths often occur in large numbers, feeding on the pollen of yellow flowers during the Spring months. | ||
