Coleophora badiipennella (Duponchel, 1843)
Status .....Found fairly commonly around Hare Hill Wood at Kersall in 2004, which remained Nottinghamshire's only record until an adult was found resting on Elm at Dukes Wood (Brownley, N. and Brownley, S.) in June 2025. Apart from larval cases at Kirton Wood and Warsop Vale in early Janury 2026, it appears not to have been found anywhere else in Nottinghamshire despite searching, but it must obviously be more common than records presently indicate.
