Yponomeuta irrorella

(Hübner, 1796)429 / 16.006

Rare, with the first record from the region in Shrewsbury, Shropshire in July 2023.

One of the more distinctive Yponomeuta, showing a patch of greyish suffusion in the centre of the forewing and another smaller patch at the base.

The larvae feed on Spindle (Euonymus europaeus) in a silken web, but unlike some other Yponomeuta species, are not so gregarious.
