A surprising addition to the Nottinghamshire fauna, when one was
attracted to an MV light run in a Market Warsop garden on July 21st
2021. The record came after nearly a week of hot humid weather, usually
condusive to species known to have wandering tendancies turning up. This
is one of the smallest examples of UK macrolepidoptera with a wingspan
of around 15mm. This equates to about the same size as Eudonia
mercurella (Scopariinae) and indeed, this moth could be mistaken
for being just another worn micro. |
