Status
.....For many years, there was just a single Nottinghamshire
record of this (nationally) rather local species - from Broadholme in
October 2013 (Gray, M.), but there has
been a recent second record, found at Rainworth Water in October 2026
(Beeley, G.). Although described as
being 'local' it is likely to be more widespread in the county and it should
be expected to occur in the Sherwood Forest area.
A note on Broadholme records:
Broadholme is in vice county VC56 of Nottinghamshire (which is covered
by www.eakringbirds.com), but not in the administrative county of
Nottinghamshire on which the county's moth records are based by the
county macromoth recorder, but records from Broadholme, are officially recognised by
both the county micromoth recorder and Butterfly
Conservation, as being genuine Nottinghamshire records. |
