Uncommon in Nottinghamshire, with just three traceable records at the
time of writing. Dorytomus tortrix should be looked for among
stands of Aspen (Populus tremula) which has become increasingly
common as part of roadside planting schemes and on some former Colliery
sites. The one below, was actually found on the site of the former
Thoresby Colliery, beaten from rejuvenating Aspen in early May 2020.
Other known records/sites are Stanford Cut-off in the very south of the
county (Lott, D.A. 1994) and Holme
Pierrepont (Dutton, A. 2007). |
