.....This stunning moth appears to have been rare in
Nottinghamshire for many years. It favours established woodland with
mature Oaks, so Sherwood Forest would perhaps be thought of as being
suitable, yet it was only recorded there historically by Brameld. There
are at least five recent county records, following two in June 2020.
These are from Bunny in 2002
(Marchant, M.), Thorney in 2007
(Wright, S. and Osborne, J.), Eaton Wood in 2009
(Watkin, C.), Broadholme in 2018
(Gray, M.), Worksop in 2020 (Cadman, P.) and Spalford Warren in
June 2026. |
