.....The moth photographed below, was attracted to MV
light in March 2011 (Pendleton, T.A. and
Pendleton, D.T.)
constitutes the first ever record for the Sherwood Forest
NNR. Recorded again from the Sherwood Forest CP in April 2021
(Pendleton, T.A.) and most recently in
March 2022 (Batty, S.) when attracted
to artificial pheremone lure.
The SKI pheremone lure seems to
work best (males arriving within minutes) and will certainly reveal this
moth to be commoner across Nottinghamshire than records presently
suggest. |
