Wormwood
Pug Eupithecia absinthiata (Clerck, 1759)  |

.....Widely distributed in
Nottinghamshire, but seemingly not a common moth on the
basis of how often we have trapped it. Ling Pug, was once
thought by some authorities to be a seperate species, but
is now regarded as the heathland form of Wormwood Pug and
is common in the Sherwood Forest area. |
