Status
.....There seem to be virtually no records of this
attractively marked Tortrix in Nottinghamshire, but it should be
expected where Larch is grown either as an ornamental tree in parks and
large gardens, or within forestry plantations. The only available record
is from Martin Gray's Broadholme garden, when one was attracted to MV
light on July 1st 2011. Our thanks go to Martin for providing us with
the photograph below.
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. However, micromoth records from Broadholme are officially recognised by
both the county micromoth recorder and Butterfly
Conservation, as being genuine Nottinghamshire records. |
