Welsh
Clearwing Synanthedon
scoliaeformis  |
| Status
.....Welsh Clearwing was first found on
a Birch trunk by Sherwood Forest ranger Gary Joynt in
July 2008 and represented an unexpected first ever record
for Nottinghamshire. Further records followed in 2009,
2010 and 2011, including numerous adults and old exit
holes. Survey work using pheremone lures have found this
moth to be present throughout the Sherwood Forest NNR,
though little work seems to have been done away from this
area. |
