Eriocrania
sangii (Wood,
1891) |
Status
.....Generally widespread throughout the Sherwood
Forest and Mansfield areas of the county. The distribution map,
currently suggests that Eriocrania sangii is restricted to woodland and
heathland on light, sandy soils, but there is no other immediately
available information, to help give any idea of this moth's overall
Nottinghamshire distribution. The dark grey larva (if present) makes
this an easy leaf mine to identify, as all other Eriocrania
larvae are coloured creamy white. |
