Satyr Pug Eupithecia satyrata (Hübner, [1813])
Status ..... There are three subspecies of this Pug occupying various parts of the UK, but only Eupithecia satyrata ssp. satyrata has been recorded in Nottinghamshire and only from two sites. The moth below was trapped at the Idle Valley NR in July 2018, by members of the Lound Moth Group and is only the second Nottinghamshire record of recent years, although it was not officially accepted by the county recorder.
