Operophtera fagata

(Scharfenberg, 1805) 1800 / 70.105

General comments:
Widespread but local resident.

Likely to be present in most map tetrads. People assume that it is rare - ergo it is rare! Time and patience will reveal this slightly larger and paler spelcies amongst the hordes of ordinary Winter Moths.

Recorded in 18 (44%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1893.
Last Recorded in 2023.
