Distribution: (Last record: 31/07/2024 at Cromford ) - Probably a new species for Derbyshire – possible immigrant – This specimen found on herbage next to moth trap on the morning of 16th July 2017 in a Sandiacre garden. A species that seems to be very much on the increase and moving northwards from the main populations in southern England. Two trapped in my garden August 2nd-3rd 2020. Recorded each year to 2024.
