Distribution and Abundance: Rare.

Primary Habitat: Wetland.

Flight Period: Recorded in June and July.

Record: 25 June 2004 Priors Hall Quarry (M. Hammond).

Observations: The moth was netted flying over the reeds. Although the quarry is scheduled for development, my understanding is that the linear reed bed is to be retained under the conservation plan. There is an earlier record for the county of a moth being found in Kettering near to the Slade Brook on 20 July 1939 by Arthur Cooper.

First Record: 1939, Cooper.
