Pretty well distributed across Kent, certain to turn up in woodland with a decent spread of Oak, but also feeds on Beech and has been observed at Shore Woods CP actively feeding on Sweet Chestnut.
Nothing on the British list to really confuse this species with.
Grade 1 — adults are generally distinctive and unlikely to be confused with other species, but records outside documented range or flight period may require photos.
