.....Probably always a rare moth in Nottinghamshire,
but especially so in recent years, as it appears that only Attenborough
NR and the Idle Valley NR are the only sites to have recorded it. The
moth in the lower two photographs, was trapped by members of the Lound
Moth Group and our thanks go to Phil Cadman and Ian Hunt for providing us with the opportunity
to photograph the specimen. Due to identifiction
difficulties with several similar species, the moth's
identity was subsequently confirmed by Martin Gray via
genitalia examination. |
