Norfolk status Scarce, possibly under-recorded in Norfolk, appears to be well established in the Brecks in areas where the foodplant can be found.
Usually found on shingle beaches and dry calcareous or sandy soils. Larva make distinctive case from hairy leaf fragments of the foodplant.
Several specimens collected from the Brecks in 1999 (K. Saul). Larval cases collected and bred out from Hockwold (J. Clifton, adult emerged 09/06/2013) and Weeting (I. Barton) in 2013.
