Criteria
| Question 1: | Does species need conservation or recovery in England? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | GB Red List (Fox et al. 2019): LC; despite historical losses there has been a recent recovery, with a post 2000 distribution increase of 63%. Long term abundance shows a non-significant decline of 15%. |
| Question 2: | Does recovery/ conservation depend on species-specific actions? |
| Response: | No |
| Justification: | Not thought to have any specific requirement beyond the presence of its foodplant; Yellow Rattle. Appears to be recovering in recent years without any specific interventions. |
| 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 |
