.....First recorded at Eakring on July
31st 2007. This was the first Nottinghamshire record
since 1970, and came a day before another was also taken
at light in a Ravenshead garden. Further moths were taken
from Lound Wood over the following nights, then again in
2008, when it was also recorded for the first time from
the Sherwood Forest NNR. It is probably quite widespread
now in many Nottinghamshire woodlands. |
