Primary Habitat: Woodland.

Flight Period: Single brooded from June to August.

Localities: Deanshanger School grounds, Horn Wood, Glapthorn Cow Pasture and Castor Hanglands.

Observations: In my experience seen in very small numbers in the county. A moth was taken on 27 July 2002 at Boughton Park in a light trap running under a large cultivated clematis. There does not seem to be any traveller’s joy, the normal foodplant of the moth, in this garden area.
