Agapeta zoegana (Linnaeus, 1767)  |
| Status
.....Fairly widespread in Nottinghamshire, although not
a moth encountered with any regularity in our experience. The larval
foodplant is Knapweed Centaurea sp, so this moth could be
expected wherever the foodplant grows, but it is much less commonly
flushed during the day than the similar Agapeta hamana. The
darker form known as f. ferrugana, occasionally turns up within
poplations. |
