General comments:
Very local but not uncommon common resident.

It comes as a surprise to discover that this is a rather localised moth in Hertfordshire, particularly in comparison with the far more frequent Agriphila geniculea with which it is confused by many people.

Recorded in 25 (61%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1890.
Last Recorded in 2023.
