.....Generally a coastal species and not seen in
Nottinghamshire for over 40 years, before three records occurred out of
the blue in July 2017. All three records involved single moths recorded
at Clumber Park (Gill, N. and Biddulph, T.)
and West Bridgford (Hurst, A.) on
07/07/17 and Ravenshead on 18/07/17 (McGeever,
D.).
There were no further
records until singles at East Bridgeford on 09/07/21
(Reece, J. and Reece, L.) then two on
16/07/21 at Carlton in Nottingham
(Adcock, A.) and at Boundary Plantation
near Budby (Morton, D. and Ashley, A.)
and two at Beeston (Sexton, T.) on
18/07/21. In 2023, it was recorded from Misson Carr (not showed on the
map) so obviously has the potential to turn up anywhere. |
