Pale Eggar Trichiura crataegi (Linnaeus, 1758)
Status ..... Uncommon and perhaps now classed as rare in Nottinghamshire, with very few recent records, all of which have come from the north of the county. The most recent records we are aware of, have come from Market Warsop in September 2010 and the Idle Valley NR in September 2015. Our thanks go to members of the Lound Moth Group, for allowing us the chance to photograph the Idle Valley NR moth.
