Privet
Hawk-moth Sphinx
ligustri (Linnaeus, 1758)  |
| Status
.....This moth is still on the increase
in Nottinghamshire, with a gradual westerly spread from
south-east Nottinghamshire and the Newark area over the
past 20 years or so. Larvae can be easy to find on
roadside hedgerows containing Privet anywhere east of
Ollerton. Our thanks must go to David Yates, who trapped
the adult photographed at Southwell. |
