Camberwell
Beauty Nymphalis
antiopa (Linnaeus, 1758)  |
| Status
.....A rare migrant to the UK, but not
annual and largely occurring in years when obvous
influxes take place. In Nottinghamshire, the Camberwell
Beauty is especially rare and there are few recent
records. Of those we can trace, there were at least three
individuals recorded in the latter part of the 1990's -
from both Calverton and Chilwell in 1996, with one at
Carlton in Spring 1997. The county's most recent
Camberwell Beauty was found at Annesley Pit Top (Naylor, P. et al) in September 2011, causing a small
twitch at the time. |
