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

Usually recorded in small numbers though 20 attracted to light at Lavernock 28.vi.1996 was exceptional. The species is easily flushed which has resulted in a number of daytime observations from various localities. Several larvae were swept from Tufted Vetch at Garden Village disused railway line 24.ix.2001.
