Streak Chesias legatella ([Denis
& Schiffermüller], 1775) ![](http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds5/textbanner04.jpg) |
Status
.....Was thought to be fairly widespread
across much of Nottinghamshire, wherever the larval
foodplant (Broom) grows. However, there are few records
from most of south and south-east Nottinghamshire. The
one illustrated, was originally trapped by Ian Hunt and
kindly brought to us for inclusion by Phil Cadman of the
Lound Bird Club Moth Group. |
