Yorkshire Status: Local resident.

This has always been a rather uncommon moth in the county, but in recent years we have an increasing number of records, though these are all confined to southern or eastern districts. There are no records from VC64 or 65. At most sites it is rather elusive, but at Hunmanby Gap it seems to occur in very good numbers. Adults feed on fleabane, or occasionally hemp-agrimony, making brownish-white inflated blotches on the lower leaves. The adults over-winter in sheltered situations. It is fairly easy to identify when fresh, but could be confused with other members of the Acrolepiinae such as Acrolepiopsis assectella.

Recorded in 18 (9%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1868.
Last Recorded in 2024.
