Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Few records but very widely distributed. Post-79 British records from the following sites: Newhaven, East Sussex (vc14); Beechen Wood, West Kent (vc16), Felbrigg, East Norfolk (vc27); Rougham Park, West Norfolk (vc28), Dropsholt Marsh, Bedfordshire (vc30); Meon Hill, East Gloucestershire (vc33); Croft Castle, Herefordshire (vc36); Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Ravenstone, both Leicestershire (vc55); Simmondley, Derbyshire (vc57); Castle Eden Dene, County Durham (vc66). This species is associated with bird and mammal nests in trees or buildings. This species is likely to be significantly under-recorded and no plausible threats have been identified. |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | No plausible threats identified. Cryptic habitat makes it likely to be under-recorded. No obvious conservation actions that could be taken. |
| 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: | Associated with bird and mammal nests in trees and buildings. No obvious management that would increase provision of these habitats. |
