Coleophora coracipennella
(Hübner, 1796)  |
||
| Probably rare in Nottinghamshire, rather than being under recorded and although on the Nottinghamshire species list collated and maintained on this website, there are no traceable records. This larval case was found on Blackthorn Prunus spinosa, near Market Warsop in late May 2021, but there are several other Coleophoras which feed on Blackthorn and closely related woody plants. Larval cases found in 2025 at Ossington disused airfield, were bred through and and later confirmed as this species by the county micro moth recorder Martin Gray. | ||
