Crescent Striped

A nationally scarce species that is scarce and much declined, restricted largely to coastal saltmarshes, estuaries and coastal grazing marshes. Turner (1955) listed it as probably found all along the coasts but with few records. Since 1980 it has been recorded irregularly and in small numbers, mainly at coastal sites. It needs to be distinguished with care from White Colon, Dusky Brocade, Large Nutmeg and Confused.
