.....An adult attracted to MV light at Southwell in
July 2015 (Yates, D.) was the first
record for Nottinghamshire. A second duly followed in 2018, when one was found in a Beeston Garden (per
Sexton, T.) but there were no further records until two
within days of each other at Bestwood Village and Carlton in late June
2020. Both occurred during a period of hot, humid weather. Remarkably, a
third record came from Netherfield Lagoons in early July 2020 and it has
been recorded there again in 2021.
Scarlet Tiger is expanding it's range and is on the point of colonising
Nottinghamshire. The Market Warsop specimen, was another attracted to MV
light during the third night of a spell of very warm and humid weather. |
