Perittia obscurepunctella
(Stainton, 1848) ![]() |
||
Only recorded new to Nottinghamshire in 2024, when Martin Gray found an adult resting on a garage door at Broadholme in the very east of the county. In July 2025, several vacated and a single occupied mine, were found on Honeysuckle growing along the edge of Lound Wood at Eakring. This moth is almost certainly under-recorded in Nottinghamshire. The leaf mines are easily found, occurring as brown blotches on the upper surface of the leaf. | ||
