Yorkshire Status: Fairly common and fairly widespread resident.

Sutton & Beaumont, 1989: This species now seems more widespread than N. dromedarius (Linnaeus) in some areas but this may be a reflection of trapping sites and habitat preferences rather than a true change in status. Quite frequently recorded from vice-counties 63 (but much less frequent than dromedarius (HEB)) and 64, but rather more sparse in the other three.

2012 (CHF): Common and widespread across most of the county and numbers seem to have increased a little. Commonest in woodland with sallows and often coming into gardens.

Recorded in 159 (80%) of 200 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1883.
Last Recorded in 2023.
