General comments:
Widespread resident.

This is one of a small group of moths that fly early in the year and are expected in most, if not all, light traps, yet some people have never caught it at all in their gardens. The reason is probably that it is mostly confined to woodland areas, especially those containing oak. A trap placed under an oak tree can generate several hundred moths within a couple of hours.
