A moth on the increase and expanding its range north across the
southern-half of the UK. Anarsia innoxiella was only recognised
as new to science in 2017, after a paper was published saying that most
light-trapped specimens previously identified as Anarsia lineatella,
were actually likely to be Anarsia innoxiella. It is thought to
have arrived in Nottinghamshire only a few years ago and records have
come from just four locations as of June 2023, including West
Bridgford, Elkesley, Market Warsop and Colwick, with multiple records known to
have occurred from the first two sites mentioned. The Market Warsop
specimen was trapped on 23/06/23, the same night as three were trapped
at Elkesley (Coombes, P.). |
