Acleris rhombana
([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)1042 / 49.070

General comments:
Widespread, but rather local. Not uncommon.
Usually encountered in the autumn generation, prior to hibernation. Reports in the ensuing spring are significantly fewer, perhaps suggesting a high winter mortality or potentially a somewhat more sedentary generation?

Recorded in 30 (73%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1888.
Last Recorded in 2024.
