Yorkshire Status: Fairly common and very local resident.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: This species is restricted to coastal sand hills in Britain, so it is not surprising that it is found at Spurn (VC61). Recent records suggest it is still flourishing at this site.

2012 (CHF): Numbers have dropped a little at its only Yorkshire site at Spurn, but we still get over 100 records in a year.

Argus 75, 2015: Three caught at Marske Beach were the first in the county away from Spurn where there were healthier numbers this year.

VC61. Spurn area, 111 records of 460 moths 21.5 to 10.8.2015 (BRS, MFS, JCr).
