Epinotia signatana

(Douglas, 1845)1144 / 49.237

General comments:
Widespread but local and scarce resident..

Surely an under-recorded species. The broad range of larval foodplants is surely not a limiting factor; there must be other reasons why this moth is not far more widespread.

Recorded in 15 (37%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 2000.
Last Recorded in 2023.
