Noctuids 1 - Y's, Gems to Straws
Chamomile Shark (Cucullia chamomillae)
Has been found through larval searches in North Antrim in the Dunseverick, Ballintoy and Portballintrae areas.
The stunning caterpillar of the Chamomile Shark only feeds on a few plant species in North Antrim, but in particular Scentless Mayweed. This plant is primarily coastal, therefore so is the moth.
