Eastern Bordered Straw Heliothis nubigera (Herrich-Schäffer, 1851) 
One to MV light at Treswell Wood on May 29th 2026 (Watkin, C.), was the first Nottinghamshire record, coinciding with a notable influx nationally at the time. A second record by the same observer, came from a Rampton garden on June 6th 2026, before another was recorded from Broadholme on July 16th (Gray, M.), which was in immaculate condition and one of a number of others recorded from around the UK at the same time.
