Adults of this species have been recorded at all times of the year in Edinburgh although the numbers tend to be low in January and February (Saville, unpublished). Consequently it is somewhat surprising that during an intensive two year study carried out at Silwood Park, Berkshire none were recorded during the winter months (New, 1969).
