Orchard Ermine Yponomeuta padella
(Linnaeus, 1758)  |
Status
.....All the records we have are from
the north of the county, but this moth is probably found
over much of Nottinghamshire. The identification of all Yponomeuta
is notoriously difficult. The larvae are much easier and
can be safely identified by the foodplant. |
