aprilana ![](http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds5/textbanner04.jpg) |
Status
.....First recorded at Eakring in 2006
and not common or regularly trapped at MV light traps
operated there. There are scattered records of this most
attractive moth, from a line running north to south
through central Nottinghamshire. It seems surprisingly
absent from the Sherwood Forest area, despite the
abundance of Oak there. |
