Observations: My own field records show that I have seen this moth annually for the last two decades, almost always in small numbers at light. The most plentifully that I have seen it is on 4 June 1992 in a replanted woodland on the former Cherry Hall quarry adjoining Barford Meadows. On this occasion there was a strong dusk flight and subsequently some twenty moths came to light. The yellow form ab. flava appears to be uncommon in Northamptonshire.

L.O.N.: Undated. Peterborough.
