Davey, P., 2009: A species occurring across England and Wales, but very local in Scotland, the larva feeding on the flowers of many plants including mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris). In Dorset, the moth is at very low density, and at most noted only a handful of times in a single year from any one locality. This may be because mugwort is a fairly local and thinly spread plant, growing in roadside verges, urban wasteland and tips, but rarely in permanent, native habitats.
