There are quite a few records of Nettle tap in the north of the county see Species Account widely scattered generally. However I am sure it is very under-recorded, since until recently at least, rather few people have recorded micromoths compared to macros. Now there is the very good field guide to micromoths of Great Britain and Ireland things will probably get much better, although inevitably there are a lot of species which can't easily be identified and quite a few which need dissection.
