.....A very rare migrant to
Nottinghamshire. It is a sedentary resident in the
central and western Highlands of Scotland, but moths of
presumed Scandinavian origin, occur as migrants to
southern and eastern counties of UK during August and
September. There is a known record from Colwick CP in
1995 (per Colwick Park
Wildlife 1995), but
this adult was trapped by David Yates in his Southwell
garden on August 17th 2010. Our thanks go to David for
letting us have the opportunity to photograph the moth. There is a more
recent record of one taken at Underwood in 2022
(Hector Brown, K. via Facebook). |
