General comments:
Widespread and not uncommon.
Although frequently encountered, we have only a single breeding record for this species, from Bushey, Hertfordshire, where a meadow with much Sneezewort supported larvae in 1966 (Barry Goater). The meadow is long gone along with many other suitable sites! Recorded in 28 (68%) of 41 10k Squares. First Recorded in 1890. Last Recorded in 2023. |
