Notes:
Suspected rare immigrant, or perhaps accidentally imported, from central Europe. The first three national records, at Leckford, Hampshire on 8 August 1988, Virginia Water, Surrey on 13 June 1989 and Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire on 20 June 1995 were thought to refer to genuine migrants. Subsequent records, including three between 13 June and 5 July 1999 in a garden in Exeter in close proximity to a newly-thatched cottage, and probably all preceding records, are now believed to have originated from reeds imported from central Europe for thatching cottages. Not recorded from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 25-30 mm. Larva feeds on Common Reed.
