A resident species recently listed as "endangered" and in decline, usually occurring singly or sparingly at mv light in a wide range of habitats, but sometimes fairly common to common in wild grassy places on the Downs. Widespread but thinly distributed and very local in numbers. Single-brooded, flying mainly from mid-August to late September. Larval foodplant in the region not determined, but elsewhere feeds on a variety of grasses. (Pratt, 2011)
