Last modified: March 6, 2021, 3:30 p.m.
A very local and dispersed species in Europe. First record in Belgium in 2016 in WV. The species seems to be confined to the Belgian coast.
Not often observed as an imago, but the caterpillars in the Belgian coastal area are sometimes very numerous on the foodplant.
