Coleophora
inulae (Wocke,
1876) ![](http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds5/textbanner04.jpg) |
Status
..... A surprising addition to the
Nottinghamshire list in September 2013, when we found two
full grown larval cases on Fleabane (Pulicaria
dysenterica) at Warsop Main Pit Top. This is a very
local moth of Nationally notable A status, believed to be
declining and found at only a handful of UK sites of
which most are in Hampshire. Coleophora inulae
has a two year life cycle and the larvae are full grown
by the July of their second year. |
