Pale
Brindled Beauty
Phigalia
pilosaria ([Denis & Schiffermüller],

| Status
.....Widespread, but
maybe under recorded due to the early flight period. Most
records we have available to us are from the northern-half of
Nottinghamshire, but it is most likely that all the county's woodlands
hold this moth. It will occur in suburban gardens and parks etc. |
