Status
.....We are unsure as to the true status of this moth
in Nottinghamshire, but it may well go undetected and unrecorded at some
traps, such is the similarity to several other species. The only recent
record we know of, is from Broadholme in April 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. However, micromoth records from Broadholme are officially recognised by
both the county micromoth recorder and Butterfly
Conservation, as being genuine Nottinghamshire records. |
