Cherry-bark
Moth Enarmonia formosana  |
||
| Status .....Probably common and under-recorded in Nottinghamshire, yet this appears to be the first county record of this stunning moth. The Cherry-bark Moth is a pest species of commercial and ornamental Cherry trees, the larvae sometimes causing considerable damage to the bark, especially around the joints of limb and trunk. The piles of brown frass, emitted from the galleries created by the developing larvae, are often the first indication that this moth is present. | ||
