General comments:
Immigrant.

Although a resident elsewhere in Britain, the Golden-rod Brindle is a primary immigrant in Hertfordshire and Middlesex. We have it twice: The first was at Tring in early September 1954 (Proc. Trans. Br. ent. Nat. Hist. Soc. : 116, Entomologist : 128 and Bell, 1956) - one of 17 moths recorded as a part of a wider immigration by this species from overseas. More recently, the trap in the adjoining gardens of James Fish and Julian Reeves, in Bishops Stortford, attracted a male on 1st September 1996.
