Yorkshire Status: Fairly common resident.

In 1907 Porritt wrote "apparently common everywhere where there are old ponds in which Typha latifolia grows freely". This is still the case. Along with its food plant, it is much commoner on the lower ground. It is usually seen in fairly small numbers though counts can sometimes reach double figures. It is rather prone to wandering and can turn up in areas far from suitable habitat, including gardens. Numbers seem to be stable in Yorkshire. It is possible to confuse it with Large Wainscot as the flight times overlap, but it is more boldly marked, and the abdomen protrudes beyond the wings.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Local and not often recorded but probably present in many areas where reedmace grows.

Recorded in 109 (55%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1847.
Last Recorded in 2023.
