Species account from Moths of Glamorgan
(Gilmore, Slade & Stewart, 2009):

Flying from mid June to mid September with a peak in late July. Found regularly on the Gower Peninsula although not numerous, and elsewhere in the county it is very scarce and localised. However recent records suggest a small colony around the lower Penarth - Lavernock area, and it has also been recorded from Flat Holm.
