Yet another moth which was only recorded new to Nottinghamshire in 2026
and quickly produced a number of records from at least three sites in
the eastern part of the county. These would likely indicate that it is
quickly becoming established in Nottinghamshire, rather than all records
being attributed to migrants.
The first of at least six individuals, was recorded in Martin Gray's
garden at Broadholme, but there have been additonal records from
Langford Lowfields (Morton, D. and Ashley, A.)
and as far north as Misterton (Lee, P.)
in the north-east of Nottinghamshire. Looks set to become a regular
fixture at sites along the Trent Valley. Thanks to Dave Morton and Andy
Ashley for again providing the moth in the accompanying photographs. |
