Agonopterix
assimilella (Treitschke, 1832) |
Status
.....Currently just a handful of recent
Nottinghamshire records, but probably a widespread moth
of areas containing stands of Broom. Most easily recorded
as a larva during the late-Winter and early Spring, by
examining shoots of the foodplant which have been fixed
together with silk. The larva is a rich plum colour. |
