Agonopterix heracliana

(Linnaeus, 1758)688 / 32.018

General comments:
Ubiquitous.
It would be a surprise if this familiar hibernator did not turn up at all well-recorded sites in the county. A very small number of records in the database might be misidentifications of A.ciliella, which can be remarkably similar in appearance. Observers are cautioned not to be over-dismissive of "heracliana" specimens in moth traps.

Recorded in 33 (80%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1888.
Last Recorded in 2024.
