Yorkshire Status: Uncommon and fairly widespread resident.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Widely recorded and locally common in all five vice-counties. This species is a good indicator of old hay meadows and tends to disappear where natural grassland sites are reseeded in agricultural areas.

2012 (CHF): This species is doing fairly well in hay meadows. There is a lack of records however in south and east VC63 presumably due to agricultural practices.

Recorded in 158 (79%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1883.
Last Recorded in 2022.
