..... Originally rare in Nottinghamshire, but has
increased enormously and is expected wherever Bird's-foot Trefoil grows. This moth is thought
to be increasing it's range northwards in the UK and it
has certainly increased dramatically in recent years.
It occurs in numbers on all former colliery sites with and is quick to
colonise any brownfield site. |
