General comments:
Widespread but local resident.


Probably under-recorded. It is a familiar species in light traps and, for those prepared to make the effort to get out and look, it is one of the more frequently encountered noctuids feeding from flowers at dusk.

Recorded in 33 (80%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2023.
