Distribution and Abundance:  Fairly common.

Primary Habitat:  General occurrence.

Flight Period:  Recorded in all months from June to September with most records in September.

Observations: The first record in the 1970’s was not repeated until 1991. After this the moth seems to have become established in the county and is now regularly recorded from a variety of habitats; probably being more widespread than present records suggest. My own field records show that I have seen the species for the past nine years. It has been taken annually at the Pitsford Reservoir static light traps from 1998 to 2003 with the 2003 total being forty-nine moths.

First Record: 1975, Deanshanger school grounds, Brown.
