Cherry-bark
Moth Enarmonia formosana (Scopoli, 1763)  |
| 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. |
