Timothy
Tortrix
Zelotherses paleana (Hübner,
1793) Formerly
Aphelia paleana ![](http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds5/textbanner04.jpg) |
Status
.....Common in Nottinghamshire but
always proved to be scarce to light at Eakring and Sherwood Forest, from
where there were only a handful of records. More often
than not, it will be disturbed from low vegetation during the day, as
was the case of the moth in the lower two photographs, which was netted
by members of the Lound Moth Group. |
