Oak Lutestring
B&F 1658 RES 65.014
DistributionPhenologyReporting RatePhotos
This species has a very restricted distribution in Kent, but can be found in some ancient Oak woodland, the stronghold being the Orlestone area, where it is regularly encountered. It flies later in the year than other similar species, and is fairly distinctive, but can be separated from other Lutestrings by the presence of two brown cross bands edged in black and either side of a central, paler grey cross band.
Grade 1 — adults are generally distinctive and unlikely to be confused with other species, but records outside documented range or flight period may require photos.
