Yorkshire Status: Uncommon and fairly widespread resident.

After a dip in numbers ten years ago, normal service has resumed and we are getting plenty of records of this distinctively-marked species. The name "Narrow-winged" is highly appropriate. Most of our records are from upland heathery areas where at times it can be common for example 118 on 19/7/2019 at Guisecliffe, though it quite often appears in smaller numbers in lowland areas including gardens. There are two overlapping generations; the second being the largest.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Generally common on heaths and moors throughout all five vice-counties and also quite frequently taken in valleys and far away from moorland.

Recorded in 139 (70%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1880.
Last Recorded in 2024.
