B&F: 1652
ABH: 65.008
Status: Resident.
Distribution and
Abundance: Fairly
common.
Primary
Habitat: Woodland.
Flight
Period: Almost entirely single brooded from May
to July.
Observations: The
small second brood appears to be extremely infrequent in
Northamptonshire, but does account for old records from
Weekley Hall Wood on 23 August 1938 and 6 September 1923.
The moth has been observed entering and exiting light
traps without returning on a very regular basis. Where
traps are left overnight this tendency may lead to some
understatement of its true abundance.
L.O.N.: 1907.
Many localities. Chiefly in woods. Common.
First

Porritt.
