Grey
Dagger Acronicta psi (Linnaeus,
1758)  |
| Status
.....Very common throughout
Nottinghamshire and will turn up at most sites and is a regular visitor
to garden traps. It should be noted that Grey Dagger and Dark Dagger are
visually identical and the background grey varies similarly within both
species. Accurate separation of the two cannot be done without
examination of the genitalia, but the larvae of both species are easily
told apart. |
