Campion
Sideridis rivularis

(Fabricius, 1775) 2166 / 73.276
=Hadena rivularis

General comments:
Widespread but local resident.

The Campion is a frequent visitor to garden light traps, but is easily confused with The Lychnis which has an identical flight period. The flight chart shows a small third peak of adult moths in late August and early September and this has occurred in all years from 2002 to 2006, suggesting a small third generation of adults.

Recorded in 35 (85%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1892.
Last Recorded in 2023.
