The Triangle
B&F 174 RES 53.002
DistributionPhenologyReporting RatePhotos
A Red Data Book species, in Kent this moth is clustered around the Elham Vally/Barham Downs and Orlestone areas. However, as can be seen from the map, it has been found away from the known 'honeypot' sites and so it could be lurking in less well known Oak and Beech woodland in the County.
This species is really quite small, especially the male with a wing length of just 5-7mm, making it easily confused with some micros. For this reason, it could potentially be overlooked in suitable habitat.
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.
