Formerly confined to south-eastern counties, but it appears to be
another moth expanding it's UK range, with first records for Nottinghamshire
and Lincolnshire found within a day of each other in September 2021,
with a second Nottinghamshire record coming from Cuckney Flash in
October 2026. The
larvae mine the leaves of Hop Humulus lupulus, usually growing
along hedgerows etc and the mines are obvious when present. There are
several flies which also mine Hop, so care has to be taken with
identification. Must be more widespread in Nottinghamshire. |
