Duponchelia fovealis  |
||
| 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. It almost certainly originated as a larva brought in on a bunch of cut flowers, that had been in the room for three weeks. | ||
