Yorkshire Status: Common and fairly widespread resident.

Muslin moth is well distributed across low-lying parts of the county. Males are nocturnal and come to light, usually in small numbers, though counts can sometimes reach double figures. The white females are more active in the daytime and are rarely reported. Out of nearly 6,000 records on the database, seven are labelled female. Numbers and distribution in Yorkshire are stable.
