Slender Pug Eupithecia tenuiata (Hübner, [1813])
Status .....Rather patchily distributed across parts of Nottinghamshire and very probably overlooked by many recorders. Its small size makes it one of the more distinctive Pugs, but identification can be difficult and even more so with worn specimens like the one caught by members of the Lound Moth Group in the lower two photographs.
