Rosy Minor

=Mesoligia literosa

General comments:
Widespread but very local resident.

The Rosy Minor appears to be quite scarce in Hertfordshire. However, whilst the map shows many gaps the better recorded sites, those where nightly recording has been undertaken over a lengthy period of years, mostly seem to have this species listed. The attractive and distinctive ab. aethalodes Richardson is apparently not recorded in our counties.

Recorded in 32 (78%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1890.
Last Recorded in 2023.
