– Rare / Uncommon / Scarce
– easy to identify, generally distinctive and unlikely to be confused with other species.ID pointers: A broad and pointed forewing that is delicately patterned with orange-red cross lines and veins. The oval and kidney marks are pale centred and also outlined in reddish orange. Ground colour is pale orange. Fairly diagnostic.
Distribution: (Last record: 29 October 2024 at Cromford ) – A resident that is uncommon, scarce and locally distributed in Derbyshire. Only recorded in very small numbers each year and seems to occur wherever there are Lime trees in both rural and urban areas. Rarely comes to light, so maybe this is why it is under recorded.

Bedrock Geology ** indirectly affects moth distribution by influencing the type of habitat and food plants available in an area. In turn, this may affect the types of moths that can thrive, or where they can most likely be found.

CUSUM Analysis: Tiliacea citrago
About this chart: CUSUM (Cumulative Sum) charts track long-term trends in moth populations [ filtered by 'Adult' and 'Mine' life stages ] by showing whether each year’s counts are above or below the historical average. Even small shifts build up over time, making trends of growth, stability, or decline easier to see. CUSUM highlights trend-consistency — asking: “Across the years, have moth counts mostly stayed above or below average?”
The data sample has 3 gap year/s here (zero records) between 2000 and 2025. The moth may have been present in those gap years, but no data was available. Too many year-gaps may exaggerate or skew the chart.
Counts for the current year (2025) are pro-rated based on data available up to month 10 (October) to provide a full-year equivalent.

Population peaked around 2025, reaching above average levels. The lowest population point occurred near 2010, showing a significant decline.
What the Y-axis "Cumulative Deviation" means: Cumulative Deviation shows the running total of how each year’s moth population count differs from the long-term average. i
