Pine
Hawk-moth Sphinx pinastri (Linnaeus, 1758) .... Formerly known as Hyloicus
pinastri |
Status
.....Surprisingly still a Grade 3 listed
moth in Nottinghamshire, despite being extremely
widespread with records from all parts. The moth is
especially common in the more Pine forested areas of
Sherwood Forest, but there is the possiblity that it may become less
common as Pine plantations are taken out. |
