General comments
Widespread resident.

The text books tell us that this moth likes wet or damp places, but this is not particularly well-reflected in our data and the moth is pretty much everywhere apart from the driest parts of the arable desert and the densest urban zone of the City of London.

Recorded in 38 (93%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2024.
