1403a Duponchelia fovealis Zeller, 1847 - (Crambidae / Pyraustinae)


Status: Migrant
Notes: The female illustrated below is the second Hampshire record, with one from the Isle of Wight. The fact that it was found indoors is important as several of the previous UK records have also been found indoors, indicating that records are likely to originated from imported plant material. There is an article in Atropos 10: April 2000 giving details of the damage to horticultural crops that it can cause in nurseries and glasshouses.
