Epinotia cruciana

(Linnaeus, 1761)1147 / 49.238

General comments:
Extremely local resident.

This species was predicted, looked for and then easily found at Oughtonhead Common on 12th July 2003. It is very likely that more will be found in other suitable habitat areas, perhaps in the Stort and Lea river valleys in the east or the Colne Valley in Middlesex.

Recorded in 7 (17%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1890.
Last Recorded in 2020.
