Spilonota
laricana (Heinemann, 1863)  |
Status
.....Less common in
Nottinghamshire through the localised distribution of the larval
foodplant Larch Larix decidua, but probably under-recorded to
some degree.
Variable in markings, with the white areas on the fore-wings of
Spilonota ocellana being replaced by grey scales, leading to a more
undity looking moth. The forewings of Spilonota laricana are
also less broad than the former species. |
