Key to Text Moths of Northamptonshire

Key to Map
  Oak Nycteoline Nycteola revayana  
         
  Status: Resident.

Distribution and Abundance: Local.

Primary Habitat: Woodland.

Flight Period: The number of broods is uncertain but the moth has been recorded in all months between April and September in the county.

Localities: Yardley Chase, Kings Wood, Fineshade and Helpston.

Observations: The moth appears to be generally uncommon in the county, but as it is easily overlooked it could be under recorded. I have only seen it infrequently at light in very small numbers after hibernation and never at sugar or ivy bloom, despite several specific attempts.

L.O.N.: 1907. Geddington Chase. Once only. By beating.

First Record: 1907, Wallis.
