Observations: The species was formerly almost entirely restricted to the limestone areas in the north east of the county and was even there uncommon. It has spread considerably since the 1950’s and now occasionally turns up in garden m.v. light traps. My own field records show that I have seen the moth in the county in eight of the last ten years to 2009.
