Found by Rose Stephens on 5th September 2014. This is a new species for the Wanstead area.

It is said to be fairly frequent, although widely scattered, over much of England and is typically found by roadside verges and other grassy places, often in quite dry conditions. This would seem to agree with Wanstead Flats as a suitable habitat.

A search of the Essex Field Club's database did not show any records for Essex.
