Status: Vagrant/migrant.
Distribution and Abundance: Rare.
Flight Period: Recorded
in September.
Record: 22.ix.2010, Wellingborough
(D. Larkin); 02.x.2013, Pitsford Reservoir (Furfaro); 01.x.2014, Northampton
(Gill).
Observations: The first VC32
record of this moth was taken in a garden light trap. As with other
moths not normally occurring in the county which have been trapped
in this locality the origin of the moth is unclear, but it could have
been introduced on plants supplied to a garden centre nearby. The
image is of the actual moth and apart from some minor fringing shows
that it is in good condition.
First Record: 2010,
Larkin.
