First recorded in 2011 from South with just ten subsequent records. The main flight period is from May to August, but it occasionally has two generation; this is most likely further south. Found over coastal grassland, including machair, and dunes. The larval food-plants are numerous and include bird's-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus).
