Calybites phasianipennella

(Hübner, 1813)296 / 15.017

General comments
Widespread, but local and scarce. Not recorded in the northern part of Hertfordshire. The larvae are associated with Rumex, Polygonum and Lysimachia and are sensitive to inappropriate grazing regimes. Although doubtless under-recorded, the range of this species will be limited by availability of habitat of the right quality.

Mine: Either the leaf or a good photograph required

Recorded in 12 (29%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1981.
