General comments:
Widespread resident.

As with Large Nutmeg, this moth is at its most plentiful in suburban gardens and though present in wayside and woodland is far less numerically common there. The distribution maps for the two species are remarkably similar.

Recorded in 36 (88%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2024.
