Morley's Final Catalogue: Known only from Bentley, where several were assembled by means of a bred female (Garrett and H. A. Powles). Surely survives in our west Fens, if not our east Broads. Not rare in Norfolk marshes.
Recent Suffolk status: Extinct.
Life history: Single-brooded in summer. Occasionally a partial second brood in the autumn.
Identification: Vapourer is smaller, lighter brown and has no orange markings at the wing-tip.
Habitat: Broadland fens. | Retained Specimen / Photograph will be Required. | |
