General comments:
Widespread and common resident.

Recorded 1834 then re-found in 2015 after a gap of 81 years. Discovery of this species at two chalk grassland sites on the northern boundary gives hope that this species might become established. The adjacent county of Buckinghamshire registered 102 reports up to 2012, involving 599 individuals (Andy King, pers. comm.) and so we may simply be at the limit of this species' geographical range (the last vestiges of Chiltern Chalk fade away in the west and north-west of Hertfordshire). It is a Species of Conservation Concern in Hertfordshire because of the fragility of its habitat.
