| Status:
Resident. Distribution and Abundance: Common. Primary Habitat: General occurrence. Flight Period: Single brooded from November to January. Observations: Due
to its late flight period and sluggish behaviour the moth
is under recorded. It is often abundant after dark in
woodland sitting on herbage and trees in the autumn and
on mild winter nights. Both sexes were common in
Gradwell traps in the 1980’s at Geddington Chase.
The Fineshade Rothamsted light trap running in woodland
for seven years in the 1990’s recorded an annual
average of twenty moths with an overall flight period
from 3 November to L.O.N.: 1907. Everywhere. Abundant. First Record: 1882, Hull & Tomalin. |
