Yorkshire Status: Common and fairly widespread resident.

A common and widespread moth across most of the county, but a little less common in the south and east. The largest counts tend to be from well-wooded parts of VC62 and 64. This mirrors its national situation where it is absent from parts of the south-east of England. Unusually for such a common moth, its foodplant(s) are unknown.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: There are widely scattered records for all five vice-counties. It would appear to be local in Yorkshire but reasonably regular where it does occur.
