.....Now a Grade 1 listed species in
Nottinghamshire. Found in small numbers at three
meadowland sites at Eakring, but not recorded at Eakring
since 2006. Due to it's small size and indistinctive
appearance, this day flying Pug is difficult to locate
and is easily missed. A most bizarre new Nottinghamshire
location for this moth, came in early June 2010, when a
female was found egg laying in an Edwinstowe garden
(upper two photographs). More recently found at Rushpool
Open Space in Forest Town, Mansfield in May 2014. |
