I have recorded the Old Lady moth since around 2009 at both Caldene fields and Raw nook nr but whilst I strongly believed the moth bred in our area I have never been able to prove this…well that is until today when I found an Old Lady caterpillar fast asleep in the moth trap at Caldene fields which is excellent news…
The Local Status of the moth described by Yorkshire Moths is: : Fairly common and thinly distributed or restricted resident.
