Yorkshire Status: Common resident.

Porritt in 1907 said that this attractive and distinctive species was "abundant among honeysuckle everywhere". It is still a common species, with records spread widely across the county, both in woodlands and in gardens. Particularly large numbers seem to occur in the Hunmanby Gap trap, with a maximum of 32 on 9/8/2015. The characteristic larvae with a broad reddish dorsal streak can be found on honeysuckle in spring, and is like other Ypsolopha larvae, being tapered at each end.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: Widespread and common in all five vice-counties, frequently occurring on honeysuckle in gardens.

Recorded in 121 (61%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1883.
