.....A moth with a strange UK distribution, being
largely restricted to southern and south-eastern coastal areas, although
it has been recorded inland. Other than two specimens trapped by Phil Cadman in his Worksop
garden in late July 2019, the only other reported records are from
Broadholme in the very east of Nottinghamshire
(Gray, M. 2014) and from Cordwood
(Carlyle, R. 2019) when larvae were present in such numbers, they
caused severe damage to growing Leeks. Other recent records have come
from Market Warsop (Pendleton, T.A.)
and West Bridgford in 2025 (Freestone, R.). |
