Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | Yes |
| Justification: | Species has declined significantly in both AoO and EoO over the last 20 years and is now restricted to upland areas in north-west England. |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | The decline of this species has followed a distinct pattern of contraction to upland and the north-west and has apparently been lost from Southern England and Wales. The decline seems to be climatically driven and there is little apparent action that can be taken to conserve it. |
| 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: | No |
| Justification: | Decline is likely to be climatically driven. The species has been recorded from a relatively wide range of habitats. |
