Identification difficulty
: 2Species where care is needed for identification. Should not present any difficulty for experienced recorders, but inexperienced recorders may be expected to provide additional evidence in the form of photographs of reasonable quality that show as many of the identification features as possible or, alternatively, a specimen. Even experienced recorders may be expected to provide additional evidence if the record is outside of the normal flight period or geographical range of the species.
This resident species is a scarcity at mv light in deciduous woods in the west of the county, although it is occasionally fairly common at Arundel. Presumed extinct in the east since the last unquestionable record was made in 1910. Single-brooded flying mainly from late July to late August. The larval foodplant has been recorded as birch and bramble. (Pratt, 2011)
