Status
.....Largely a moth of northern parts of the UK and
only occasional elsewhere. Not recorded in Nottinghamshire prior to the
one illustrated turning up in Martin Gray's garden at Broadholme,
proving that some may wander away from their known range when conditions
are suitable.
A note on
Broadholme records: Broadholme
is in vice county VC56 of Nottinghamshire (which is covered by
www.eakringbirds.com), but not in the administrative county of
Nottinghamshire on which the county's moth records are based by
the county macromoth recorder. As such, no Broadholme records appear in
any county reports, but they are officially recognised by Butterfly
Conservation as being Nottinghamshire records. |
