     Recorded every year from all areas becoming less common away from Greatstone and Dungeness where
     it exceeded the 40 dates at two traps in 93,94 and at Dungeness in 02 and 03. The 64th most commonly
     occurring moth in the area. Data from BB and DW both show a markedly decreasing trend in the 
     number recorded. This reflects the general decrease in frequency from all areas. Peak months July and
     August.
 
     Earliest date.  7th June (07).   Latest date.  15th October (95).  119 at Dungeness in July 94.
