Winter
Moth Operophtera brumata (Linnaeus,
1758)  |
| Status
.....Probably very common throughout
Nottinghamshire, but the evidence based on the
distribution map we have been able to produce from
records sent to us, would suggest that this moth is
uncommon along the Trent Valley. However, this is certainly down
to the lack of recording moths during the late Autumn and
Winter months, yet it is easy to record this moth flying over the road
in car headlights. Under-recorded. |
