Psychoides
filicivora (Meyrick,
1937)  |
| Status
.....Probably rare in Nottinghamshire. Psychoides
filicivora is typically a moth of coastal areas, but
found increasingly inland through the use of ferns in
horticulture. Sometimes found indoors on potted ferns at
all times of the year. The larval cases can be found on a
range of Ferns, including Asplenium trichomanes growing
on the riverside walls of Newark Castle. |
