.....A rare moth in the Nottinghamshire, with only two
traceable county records in recent years. One was trapped at Budby Moor
near Edwinstowe in 2003 (Finch, G. and Finch,
A.) and one was attracted to MV light at Broadholme in 2018
(Gray, M.). Our thanks go to Martin
Gray, for kindly providing us with the accompanying photograph.
A note on
Broadholme records: Broadholme
is in vice county VC56 of Nottinghamshire (which is covered by
www.eakringbirds.com), but not in the administrative county of
Nottinghamshire on which the county's moth records are based by
the county macromoth recorder. As such, no Broadholme records appear in
any county reports, but they are officially recognised by Butterfly
Conservation as being Nottinghamshire records. |
