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

Stated to occupy a wide range of grassy habitats throughout much of the UK, however in Glamorgan it is strangely absent from most areas away from the coast. The main exception is the Merthyr / Aberdare area where the species is recorded frequently. Other inland sites where the species has been recorded include north Cardiff, Tondu, Llantrisant, Bonvilston, and around Nelson. Flies June to August with peak numbers occurring during July.
