Species Account

Not known in Kent. This obvious species can only been found in the Cambridgeshire Fens, Norfolk Broads and a single site in Dorset. It is well worth keeping an optimistic eye out for in suitable reed-bed/reed swamp habitat. You just never know...

Record Verification

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.

There are no records of Reed Leopard (Phragmataecia castaneae) in the Kent database with accurate dates, so the phenology chart can't be displayed.

There are no records of Reed Leopard (Phragmataecia castaneae) in the Kent database since 1950, so the reporting rate chart can't be displayed.
