Yorkshire Status: Common resident.

In 1907 Porritt wrote "occurs throughout the county, and in many parts abundantly; least common in the south west". I think we would describe it now as common throughout the county wherever pines are grown. It probably does not come strongly to light, so populations may be bigger than the number of moths in light traps suggests. Counts into double figures are unusual, however 30 were trapped amongst pines at Ellington Banks on 9/4/2004. Numbers in Yorkshire are probably stable.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: This species is a serious pest of conifer plantations in parts of northern Britain (Skinner, 1984). However, in Yorkshire it is quite local and may have declined slightly overall. It is probably well established in many areas with pine but is generally only recorded in small numbers.

Recorded in 133 (67%) of 200 10k Squares.
