Marsh Pug Eupithecia
pygmaeata  |
||
| Status .....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). | ||
