Acleris cristana

Acleris cristana ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)

Status ..... Described as being local in Nottinghamshire and is a species we never recorded very often. Trapping sessions either very late, or very early in the year, have typically proved to be the most productive in recording this moth, in which variation is considerable. This is one of our most attractive and at times, strikingly marked Acleris species.
