Engrailed Ectropis crepuscularia (Goeze,
1781) ....
Formerly known as Ectropis bistortata  |
| Status
.....Probably quite 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 many
sites, including gardens. The larva shows variation in colouration and
are found on a wide range of trees and shrubs including Elder and Larch. |
