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

Univoltine, flying from July into early September frequenting a range of herbaceous plants on heaths and grassland. Flies in sunshine and comes to light. This is a predominantly western species in Glamorgan, especially on the Gower Peninsula, with few records from central and eastern Glamorgan. Apparently absent from the Vale of Glamorgan.
