Status ..... Rare in Nottinghamshire. One found in a Misterton garden in late May 2018 by Phil Lee, is believed to be the first VC56 record. The moth has been recorded more recently, when several examples were attracted to MV light at Misson Carr, but one from Sherwood Forest in July 2024 was a major surprise.
