.....Very rare in Nottinghamshire, with just two recent
records following a gap of over a century. There is strong evidence that
this moth is now increasing in the UK and as if to illustrate this, the
individuals below, were both trapped on the same night in Martin Gray's
Broadholme garden (VC56) on 24/03/22 and there was another at Eaton Wood
near Retford, when attracted to Colin Watkin's MV light on 22/03/22. It
looks likely that this species is set to become more regular in the next
few years? |
