The moth is double-brooded in southern Europe, flying in May and June, and again from mid-July to the end of August. In Dorset, the moth has been recorded on two occasions: Canford Cliffs, adult disturbed from privet bush four hundred metres from sea front on 12 July 1908 (W Hooker), Purbeck district, female netted on 21 August 1968 (J Reid).
