Willow
Ermine Yponomeuta rorrella (Hübner,
1796)  |
| Status
.....Widespread but uncommon in the UK.
In Nottinghamshire, Willow Ermine seems restricted to the
Idle Valley area, but we have found the larvae near
Mansfield Woodhouse. The identification of all Yponomeuta
is notoriously difficult. The larvae are much easier and
can be safely identified by the foodplant. |
