Least
Carpet Idaea
rusticata ([Denis & Schiffermüller],
1775)  |
| Status
.....Recently recorded as new to Nottinghamshire in
July 2017, when attracted to MV light at Phil Lee's Misterton garden in
the north of the county. Formerly restricted to south-eastern counties
of the UK, Least Carpet has spread inland and northwards in recent
years, so it was perhaps surprising that it took so long to be recorded in
Nottinghamshire. There have been further records since, with most (if
not all) coming from urban locations. |
