.....Largely confined to the heathlands
lying on Sherwood Sandstone, with the majority of recent
county records coming from the Sherwood Forest area.
Occasional wanderers can turn up anywhere, and there have
been recent records from two former gravel pits in the
Trent Valley, Misson Carr, Bestwood village and an
Attenborough garden. The one illustrated, was trapped by
members of the Lound Moth Group in August 2018. |
