Yorkshire Status: Very rare migrant/wanderer.

We have so few records of this scarce moth that they are worth listing individually:
1842 - a note in Entolmologist 1842 of one at York
1859 - a rather vague reference in Entomologists' Weekly Intelligencer to one in the York area.
14/8/1968 a worn moth visiting ragwort flowers at Muston.
1/8/2019 one at light in Beverley.
2/8/2019 one seen by day at Ripon.

This is a resident species in East Anglia, particularly the Brecks and the north Norfolk coast, but there are smaller populations in the Wiltshire/Hampshire area. Records elsewhere are wandering moths or migrants.
