Distribution: (Last record: 17/05/2024 at Sandiacre ) - Despite being a moorland species and with very few records since 1988. Of the 25 records received all are from three locations in the south east corner of the county – Sandiacre, Breaston and Long Eaton. One record from Belper. Amazingly no modern day records from the heather moorlands.
