Status
.....There is a great deal of uncertainty regarding
this moth in Nottinghamshire, but it does seem to be genuinely scarce or
rare. Misidentification with Heart and Dart or Turnip Moth appears most
likely and so most county records do not get accepted without supporting
evidence. Determining the true status of this moth in Nottinghamshire
is difficult, but it would appear to show a tendancy for sandy soils.
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. As such, no Broadholme records appear in
any county reports, but they are officially recognised by Butterfly
Conservation as being Nottinghamshire records. |
