Anania hortulata
(Linnaeus, 1758)1376 / 63.025
=Eurrhypara hortulata (Linnaeus, 1758)

General comments:
Widespread and common resident.

Were it not for the fact that nobody grows Stinging Nettles in office window boxes in the City of London and east towards the Isle of Dogs, we could label this moth ubiquitous.

Recorded in 38 (93%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1888.
Last Recorded in 2024.
