Ypsolopha nemorella - 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.

Ypsolopha nemorella

Wingspan 21-24 mm.

One of the larger species of the genus Ypsolopha, a distinct dark spot on the creamy forewing is the most obvious feature.

Distributed locally across most of Britain, except some parts of Scotland, it inhabits mainly woodland habitat, and flies during July and August.

The larvae feed on honeysuckle (Lonicera).
