Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Widespread distribution in SW England, although seems to be associated with humid old woodlands. "...Although rather restricted geographical range in England, it does readily colonise young trees in sheltered locations, and may be spreading to an extent locally" (BLS 2024). |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Species readily colonises young trees and may be increasing locally. |
| Question 3: | At a landscape scale, would the species benefit from untargeted habitat management to increase habitat mosaics, structural diversity, or particular successional stages? |
| Response: | N/A |
| Justification: |
