Species account (old)
This very rare Aclerid moth has been found feeding on conifers in the Forestry Commission plantations in the north-east during the last four years. [...] In vc 66 it came to both the Hamsterley Forest and Chopwell Traps in 1987, 88, 89, and 91 (TCD). A single specimen also turned up in the Castle eden Dene trap in April 1991, presumably from the small coniferous plantation that is maintained there for the red squirrels.
