General comments
Widespread but local resident.

Likely to be under-recorded, although most adult moths are fairly distinctive in appearance. Although we have no larval records, sadly, almost all adult moths caught were in traps with a more or less direct sight line to Scots Pine (Pinus sylvestris) trees.

Recorded in 24 (59%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1900.
Last Recorded in 2024.
