General comments:
Local resident.

The spread of records suggests that chalk-based habitats are preferred. Elsewhere it prefers base-rich soils, including some areas of the Chalky Boulder Clay but, apart from one at The Regent's Park in 2018, clearly avoiding the densely urban zone.

Recorded in 27 (66%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1906.
Last Recorded in 2023.
