Yorkshire Status: Scarce and local resident.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: There have been several records since 1970 from vice-counties 61 to 64. Whether it has actually become more common or whether there is more interest in identifying pugs with the better literature now available is difficult to ascertain. The larvae are often found on wild angelica growing under sallow bushes in damp areas (MRB pers. comm.).

2012 (CHF): There are scattered recent records in all five vice-counties from damp areas. Tricky to identify when worn though fairly straightforward when fresh. Peak flight time is 1st August and records over four weeks away from then should be looked at critically.

Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required.

Recorded in 64 (32%) of 200 10k Squares.
