Currant
Clearwing Synanthedon
tipuliformis (Clerck, 1759)  |
| Status
..... Found on allotments, fruit farms
and old gardens etc and at one time, probably much more
common than it is now. The Currant Clearwing may well
have declined in the county, following the increased use
of pesticides and most recent records have been from the
suburbs of Nottingham. However, it was recently found at
two sites in the Mansfield area, so there may well be an
element of under-recording. Comes well to pheremone lure.
