B&F: 2392a

ABH: 73.104

Status: Rare migrant

Distribution and Abundance: Rare

Primary Habitat: General

Flight Period: Double brooded: March to June and again from August to October.

Observations: The first VC32 record was of a single female moth taken at light in an Oundle garden. At that time there were relatively few UK mainland records for this rare migrant species, although appears to be increasing in frequency and numbers in some areas, mainly along the southern and eastern coastal counties. It is however thought to be at least temporarily resident at a single site on the Kent coast. Larvae apparently feed upon a variety of low-growing plants, with Plantains specified.

First Record: 2020, Oundle, Horsnail
