Engrailed Ectropis crepuscularia (Goeze,
1781) ....
Formerly known as Ectropis bistortata  |
| Status
.....Common over most of
Nottinghamshire and although there are few records from the
Trent Valley among the records we have available to us, there is no
reason to suggest this moth is anything other than widespread at most sites
there, including gardens. The larva shows variation in colouration and
can be found on a wide range of trees and shrubs including Elder
Sambucus nigra and Larch Larix decidua. |
