Depressaria daucella
([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)  |
||
| This was somewhat of an unexpected addition to the Nottinghamshire list, when Tim Sexton found numerous larva on Hemlock Water Dropwort Oenanthe crocata growing at the sides of the rowing course at Holme Pierrepont in late May 2024. The NBN Atlas shows that this moth has an almost complete westerly-bias in the UK, with a few coastal records in east Scotland. It was found in Norfolk for the first time in 2021 (per Norfolk Moths) so it may well appear at other sites in eastern counties of the UK. | ||
