.....Another species which we presume to be uncommon,
or possibly even rare in the county, with a lack of any recent records
other than one trapped at Broadholme by Martin Gray on July 22nd 2013.
Similar to the more common Bryotropha domestica, this species
could easily be overlooked and can be identified by the black mark at
the base of the forewing.
A note on Broadholme records:
Broadholme is in vice county VC56 of Nottinghamshire (which is covered
by www.eakringbirds.com), but not in the administrative county of
Nottinghamshire on which the county's moth records are based by the
county macromoth recorder. However, micromoth records from Broadholme are officially recognised by
both the county micromoth recorder and Butterfly
Conservation, as being genuine Nottinghamshire records. |
