Recent Suffolk Status: Found fairly commonly in the Brecks and Sandlings with occasional records elsewhere.

Life history: Single-brooded.

Identification: Bordered pug is a larger species with darker markings. Grey pug is greyish in colouration with no pale areas.

Habitat: Grassy areas with wildflowers, Breck grassland, road verges, coastal grassland, heathland.
