Limnaecia
phragmitella (Stainton,
1851)  |
| Status
.....Almost certainly a much under-recorded moth across
Nottinghamshire. This relatively dull looking, straw-coloured micro moth
inhabits ponds, lakesides etc, wherever its hostplant Bulrush grows, but
the adults will occur as rare wanderers at any site, even those well away from
the nearest suitable habitat on warm, humid, overcast nights. The larvae
are easily found in Bulrush heads during the Winter months. |
