It a Submediterranean- Subatlantic species which is uncommon in Britain with strongholds in Breckland and, remarkably, northeast Scotland. Until recently it was very rare in the west but it appears to spreading along the coast in southwest England and in Wales. It is still very rare in West Glamorgan with a few records from coastal sites in Gower and Neath Port Talbot.
