Notes:
Local, on sand-dunes, all around the coasts of the British Isles, and on heaths inland in southern England. In Hampshire, frequent on the sand-dunes of Hayling Island, less so in other coastal localities; still found in small numbers in the New Forest and along the eastern edge of v.c.12. There has only been one recent record from the Isle of Wight, at Binstead in June 1995. Wingspan 30-40mm. The most distinctive and easily recognised of the Agrostis species. Larva feeds on herbaceous plants such as Lady's Bedstraw, Hedge Bedstraw, Heath Bedstraw and Greater Stitchwort.
