Yorkshire Status: Rather local resident.

"Common amongst rest harrow on the coast" said Porritt in 1883. It is still predominently a coastal moth, especially at Spurn, Teesside and Flamborough, as its food plant is commonest on the coast though numbers vary a lot from year to year. Scattered records appear inland in many years implying that there are odd populations in various parts of the county. In general, numbers have reduced since about 2015, mostly due to a drop in records at Spurn. This species is not related to other "Sallows" which fly later in the year.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: There have been a few more records of this species in recent years. However, it is still most frequent on the coast and very sporadic inland. It probably occurs wherever there is an adequate supply of restharrow, which tends to only grow in coastal areas and on calcareous soils.
