Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Near Threatened. At the time of red-listing known in Britain from eighteen localities, of which fourteen had records in the previous 25 years – 4 sites (just over 20%) appearing to have been lost. There is a distinct concentration of records through the Severn Vale, from Berkeley Deer Park and Forthampton Oaks (West Gloucestershire), Bredon Hill and Hanbury Park (Worcestershire) and Packington Park (Warwickshire). There are also a few sites in the lower Thames Valley, notably Windsor Great Park (Berkshire) and Richmond Park (London). The availability of suitable host trees, especially open-grown ancient oaks and old orchard trees, is declining at landscape scale. |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | Yes |
| Justification: | Minimum intervention management will not provide conditions suitable for the development of suitable host trees |
| 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: | It will benefit from the actions on other species so does not need its own plan. |
