Brown-dotted Clothes Moth Niditinea fuscella (Linnaeus, 1758)
Status .....Recorded just once from Lound Wood in September 2007, during our time trapping at Eakring, but with very few other county records reported to us over the last 20 or so years, this moth seems to be quite uncommon, or overlooked on small size alone. The most recent records we know of, are from from the Idle Valley NR in July 2019 (Cadman, P. Hunt, I. and Newman, M.), with all others taken indoors from Edwinstowe in February 2020 (O'Leary, C.), Mansfield in July 2021 (Beeley, G.) and Mapperley in June 2026 (Dutton, A.)
