Notes:
Local in and around reed-beds, from Dorset to Yorkshire, and in Lancashire and Cumbria. Fairly widely distributed in Hampshire, both on the coast, where the majority of records originate, and inland, where there are notable populations on the Leckford Estate and around Winchester. Very scarce on the Isle of Wight, with only four records so far this century. Wingspan 32-36 mm. The smooth creamy appearance of the forewing, darker towards the termen, precludes confusion with any other species (MBGBI Vol 10). Larva feeds on Common Reed.
