Although the distribution map may well lead to the impression that
this is a common Nottinghamshire moth, in reality, it is considerably
more restricted in its range across the county. Most records are from
along the Trent Valley, from the south-west of the county heading up
through to Newark. Records away from here are rare, but there are three
from the wider Clumber Park/Carburton Border area and Elkesley, where
the moth photographed below was trapped and photographed by Paul Coombes
on 09/08/20. Grateful thanks go to Paul for providing his photograph for
inclusion here. |
