| Status:
Resident. Distribution and Abundance: Common. Primary Habitat: General occurrence. Flight Period: Double brooded in May and June and again in August. Observations: Comes to light regularly in most localities but in my experience never in large numbers. On occasions the caterpillars resulting from the second brood moths complete their growth very late in the year as in 1984 when one was found feeding on the autumn tinted beech leaves in mid November at Geddington Chase.L.O.N.: 1906. Several localities. Not uncommon. First Record: 1859, Sturgess. |
