Chrysoclista linneella

(Clerck, 1759)903 / 39.005

General comments:
The adults are bright orange with silver/grey spots and may be seen at rest in the trunks of lime trees; apparently they also come to light. It is widespread and common in the general London area where street Limes dominate the flora, but thins out towards the suburbs and beyond to become extremely local in Hertfordshire. Doubtless much under-recorded in spite of its striking appearance.

Recorded in 13 (32%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1901.
Last Recorded in 2023.
