General comments:
Widespread and common resident.

Both Scoparia ambigualis and Scoparia pyralella are more or less ubiquitous. Most can be named with relative ease, but a good many will need genitalia dissection for complete safety.

Recorded in 37 (90%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1890.
Last Recorded in 2024.
