..... A small and indistinctly marked
Pug, which often appears to be worn, with a hint of light green
colouration. Often alights with the wings held slightly
raised. Seems to be generally uncommon in
Nottinghamshire, but beating Blackthorn in blossom for the larva at the
end of April 2023, provided three larva within a short time from Eakring
Meadows. It may be an under-recorded moth to a degree. Many thanks go to
Dave Morton and Andy Ashley, who kindly supplied the moth in the top two
photographs. |
