Dioryctria
abietella ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)  |
| Status
.....There are few Nottinghamshire
records of this moth, which is one of four diffcult to
identify species. All four Dioryctrias are similarly marked and
coloured, so identification is difficult from photographs and sometimes reliant on
dissection. Occurs in areas of commercial Pine forestry,
with records largely from the north of the county only so far. |
