Great Oak Beauty Hypomecis roboraria
([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)  |
| Status
.....A Nationally scarce B moth in the
UK, with it's stronghold in several southern counties.
There are scattered colonies in Buckinghamshire and
Shropshire, with the northern-most being colony in
Sherwood Forest. This was not an expected species at
Eakring and with a more recent record from Clumber Park,
perhaps this moth is slowly increasing its
Nottinghamshire range. |
