Status
.....Rare in Nottinghamshire, with most recent records
coming from the south-west of the county. There are records from
Attenborough NR in 1997(Nottinghamshire
Wildlife Trust), from Rushcliffe
CP in 2011 and 2012 (Thompson, M. Cox, K. and
Mayhew, L.) and from Bestwood village
in 2016 (Tobin, S.). Our thanks go to Martin Gray who supplied us
with the photograph below, showing one attracted to MV light at
Broadholme in 2010.
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. |
