Sitochroa
palealis ([Denis
& Schiffermüller], 1775)  |
| Status
.....Presumed to be a rare migrant in
Nottinghamshire, it was first found in the north of the
county in 1996 and there have been a few records since.
Leicestershire has one record of S. palealis and
there are populations along the south and south-east
coasts of the UK. The individual pictured was one of a
discreet colony found on Warsop Main Pit Top in 2006 and
moths were again present there in 2007. This species is
obviously established at this site now. |
