General comments
Widespread resident.

Some larger, female examples might be confused with Wormwood Pug; some melanic forms of the slightly smaller males may be misidentified as Common Pug. Nevertheless, this is one of the more numerous and regular pugs in garden light traps, often in high number.

Recorded in 32 (78%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1900.
Last Recorded in 2023.
