Yorkshire Status: Rare migrant. Possible future colonist.

This species was first seen as a migrant in West Sussex in 1983. In the last few years, records have increased substantially, mostly along the south coast and up into East Anglia, and it is probably now resident in some areas, as occasional first-generation moths have been seen to our south. Our first moth was trapped at Spurn on 22/10/24, and several more followed. We ended up with 11 records of 12 moths from six sites, all in VC61 apart from one at Kirk Smeaton in VC63.
