Status
.....Currently known from Nottinghamshire on the basis
of a two records, when one was attracted to light at Broadholme on the
Nottinghamshire border with neighbouring Lincolnshire in August 2016
(Gray, M.), Our thanks go to Martin
Gray, for kindly providing the accompanying photograph. The county's
second record, was from Roger Freestone's West Bridgford garden on June
27th 2025, which was subsequently confirmed by the county macro moth
recorder in early 2026.
A note on Broadholme records:
Broadholme is in vice county VC56 of Nottinghamshire (which is covered
by www.eakringbirds.com), but not in the administrative county of
Nottinghamshire on which the county's moth records are based by
the county macromoth recorder. As such, no Broadholme records appear in
any county reports, but they are officially recognised by Butterfly
Conservation as being Nottinghamshire records. |
