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

Inhabits sea-cliffs and rocky habitats inland, including quarries and scree slopes where the larvae feed on low growing plants such as stonecrop. Records indicate that the species is widespread, though very localised in coastal areas and the uplands. The peak flight period is during July, when adults have occasionally been seen dashing around the cliffs in sunshine.
