Status
.....A rare moth in Nottinghamshire, with only isolated
records since the latter part of the 1960's. The only records since, are
from Clumber Park in 2011 (Woods, R.), Broadholme in 2016 and
again in 2021 (Gray, M.) and Langford
Lowfields in 2026 (Morton, D. and Ashley, A.).
Grateful thanks go to Martin Gray, for kindly supplying the lower two
photographs and to Dave Morton and Andy Ashley, for providing the
Langford Lowfields specimen.
A note on
Broadholme records: Broadholme
is in vice county VC56 of Nottinghamshire (which is covered by
www.eakringbirds.com), but not in the administrative county of
Nottinghamshire on which the county's moth records are based by
the county macromoth recorder. As such, no Broadholme records appear in
any county reports, but they are officially recognised by Butterfly
Conservation as being Nottinghamshire records. |
