This seems to be a relative newcomer to Nottinghamshire, with all
the records providing the distribution map below, coming since 2006.
There have been a number of records of this largely woodland species
from Martin Gray's Broadholme garden on the border with Lincolnshire and
a recent record from Theives Wood near Mansfield represent the most
northerly records to date. Likely to turn up further north in the next
few years. Thanks go to Dave Morton and Andy Ashley, for providing the
Theives Wood moth for inclusion here. |
