| Psyche
casta (Pallas,

| Status
.....Very common in the Sherwood Forest
area and relatively widespread in Nottinghamshire
woodlands, but also now found away from wooded areas on
some former colliery sites. Like most Psychidae
moths, the adults are short-lived and the females are
wingless. In June 2018, we took a captive reared female
to Clipstone Old Quarter and within minutes, she had
attracted five males. |
