Large Twin-spot Carpet
Xanthorhoe quadrifasiata
(Clerck, 1759) 1726 / 70.055

General comments:
Widespread but rather local resident in Hertfordshire.

Apparently absent from most of Middlesex, whilst Collins (1997) confirmed it as absent from the entire eastern part of Surrey. This seems to suggest that Hertfordshire lies at the extreme south-west of its distributional range?

Recorded in 28 (68%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2023.
