=Agrochola circellaris

General comments:
Widespread resident.

Although supposedly also recorded elsewhere on Ash and poplar, the larvae of the Brick seem to have a strong association with Wych Elm within our area. Happily, this tree survived the ravages of Dutch Elm disease in the 1970s and the moth remains widespread and common here.

Recorded in 35 (85%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2024.
