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.
