Please note that the NBN Gateway map service has been terminated as of 1 April 2017.

As soon as a replacement map service is available, distribution maps will hopefully appear here again.

In the meantime, you can get some idea of distribution from the NBN Atlas website.

Occurring mainly in the southern counties of England, this species is on the wing in August and September.

It inhabits woodland margins, hedgerows and scrubland, and is mainly day-flying, especially on sunny days. The adults have a distinctive white dorsal blotch.
