Phyllonorycter comparella
(Duponchel, [1843]) ![]() |
||
Recorded new to Nottinghamshire in 2022, when a number of both occupied and unoccupied leaf mines were found on Grey Poplar Populus x canescens, growing at Ollerton Pit Woods. This is another leaf miner of south-eastern counties of the UK, which seems to be spreading north over recent years. Likely to remain rather uncommon in Nottinghamshire on the basis of hostplant range. | ||
