This species has been on the Nottinghamshire list for many years,
although any historical county records of this moth aren't traceable
through the usual sources and there appears to be no modern (post-1990)
records. Formerly regarded as a migrant species, it is now established
in some south-western counties, with records away from those areas uncommon.
In 2025, there was a good
arrival/movement of Four-spotted Footman in many southern counties of
the UK and two
Nottinghamshire records associated with the influx, came from Ploughman's Wood on 14/06/25
(Shields, T.) with another at Langford
Lowfields on 17/06/25 (Morton, D. and Ashley,
A.). |
