Udea prunalis

([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)1390 / 63.034

Davey, P., 2009: A common species in England and Wales, the larva is polyphagous on plants, shrubs and trees. In Dorset, the moth is widespread but most frequent from deciduous scrub habitat on chalky soils where elder (Sambucus nigra) and blackthorn (Prunus spinosa) are prevalent. It is least frequent on acid soils, although singletons have been noted from Oakers Wood, Morden Bog, Hartland Moor, Canford Heath and Arne Wood.
