 has
been noted from Suffolk (Aldeburgh).

The pale ochreous brown or greyish ochreous caterpillar has three broken
greyish lines on the back; it tapers towards the small head, and the skin
of the body is closely wrinkled. It feeds from August to May, or a little
later, on the flowers of hawk's-beard (_Crepis_), dandelion, coltsfoot,
golden rod, etc., and in confinement it seems to accept most kinds of
flowers that are offered, even when widely different. Thus, Mr. Conquest,
in 1907, had some caterpillars which hatched during the first week in
August from eggs laid on July 25; these were at first supplied with
flowering sprays of yellow bedstraw (_Galium verum_), and later on with the
flowers of golden rod (_Solidago_). Instead of hibernating, which is no
doubt the normal habit in the species, some larvae reared from the egg in
confinement and subjected to fostering warmth will grow very quickly and
produce moths the same year.
