Depressaria pimpinellae - Distribution map

Please note that the NBN Gateway map service has been terminated as of 1 April 2017.

As soon as a replacement map service is available, distribution maps will hopefully appear here again.

In the meantime, you can get some idea of distribution from the NBN Atlas website.

Depressaria pimpinellae

Wingspan c. 18mm.

Distributed in southern England and parts of the Midlands north to Lancashire and Yorkshire, this is a rather local species.

The larvae feed on burnet-saxifrage (Pimpinella saxifraga) and greater burnet-saxifrage (P. major) in a silken spinning.

Adult moths generally emerge in September and overwinter, appearing again in the following spring.
