Seven record s for this tricky species between 2004 and 2008 and then an increase in records as people started looking for this species when new information on identification was published , it is very similar to Gold Spot to the untrained eye and this may be the reason for so few records. Close examination of all Gold Spots in July will reveal this species to be commoner than records suggest.The first record of 1 at Moor End Gardens on the 5th August 2004(NCD)was identified by Philip Winter of Whitby on photographic evidence.
