Orange Moth
Angerona prunaria

(Linnaeus, 1758) 1924 / 70.230

General comments:
Status uncertain. Vagrant or extremely local resident.

The eight historic map dots (66% of all records) represent records made, broadly, over a hundred years ago and suggest that this moth was once resident in at least the south of Hertfordshire. It is quite absent in 2022. The 4 current map dots (34%), all date from 2002 onwards and represent areas where the moth was not previously found. Whether these are merely vagrants, or representatives of a small, undiscovered resident population is unclear.

Recorded in 12 (29%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2013.
