Duponchelia fovealis (Zeller, 1847)  |
| Status
.....An adventive species with
relatively few UK records. Although a migrant species,
most records of Duponchelia fovealis in the UK
are the result of accidental importation on cut flowers
or house plants from southern Europe. This moth was found
freshly emerged on the skirting board of a room in a
Mansfield nursing home and was the first ever record for
Nottinghamshire, almost certainly originating as a larva
brought in on a bunch of cut flowers, that had been in
the room for three weeks. There have since been records
of singles at Misterton and Market Warsop. |
