Identification difficulty
: 1Species that can be relatively easily identified even by inexperienced recorders with the use of up-to-date field guides. Such records would be accepted without the need for additional evidence as long as they conform to the normal flight period and geographical range of the species.
Resident. Often fairly common to common at mv light in woods, but much less frequent along treeless parts of the coast. Well distributed, probably generally so, but high numbers are local. Single-brooded, flying mainly from early May to late June, sometimes from late April. Larvae feed on beech, oak, hazel, hop, sweet chestnut, birch, elm, and lime.(Pratt, 2011)
