Calamotropha paludella (Hübner, 1824) | ||
Status .....The status of this moth in VC56 is interesting, as it seems to have been recorded as new to Nottinghamshire as recently as 2005, when singles were taken on two dates at Nuthall (Baker, P.). Further records suggest that this moth has now spread throughout the county, with records from a number of predominantly wetland sites. It remains uncommon away from wetland areas, but it is prone to wander distances on warm, overcast evenings and will turn up in garden traps. | ||
