General comments:
Widespread resident.

Anyone who runs a moth trap in January/February is likely to attract this species, though chances increase the nearer the trap is to some sort of woodland. Male moths frequently sit on the trap, or on surrounding walls and vegetation - if you do not look at the trap until first light you may miss the many moths that provide a hearty breakfast for House Sparrows! The females are wingless.
