Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | GB Red List (Fox et al. 2019): LC. GB long term abundance decline of 62% though not statistically significant; long term distribution increase of 82%. |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Although there is currently no strong evidence for decline, potentially threatened by Ash dieback (Ash is sole foodplant). However, this does not necessitate action soley for this species, rather action is needed for the entire Ash-dependent community. |
| 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: | Mature Ash is sole foodplant. |
