The first Kent specimen was taken on Thanet in late June 2025.
The first British record of this moth was from Berkshire on 6 August 2018. In 2022 further records were made in VC22 and VC24 (the latter to the TIP pheromone lure) as well as a handful from various other English counties, and it now seems to be widely scattered but rarely seen.
