1398 Nomophila noctuella Rush Veneer

20 Aug 12, Harcourt Drive (Earley) 

 SU73527096 (NMH). In some years this 

 species is common, arriving as a migrant in 

 Spring and breeding in this country. To 

 receive only one record indicates that is was 

 a very poor year for migration (NMH).

 20 Jul 12, Withymead SU601 38274 (NMH) 

 This larva of this species is said to feed in 

 mature spruce cones. I often see one or two 

 a year in my garden despite knowing of no 

 mature spruce nearby. It was surprising to 

 find it at Withymead, since there is no spruce 

 there either. I suspect that it can feed in pine 

 cones. (NMH)
