downs at Bloxworth (Cambridge") ; also the downs at Wilton, near 

 Salisbury (Ridley) ; it is remarkable that, although it prefers the 

 fens at Wicken and elsewhere in Cambridgeshire, around Cambridge 

 it is quite a roadside species, frequenting the hawthorn hedges 

 (Farren) ; also affects the hawthorn hedges in Guernsey (Luff), at 

 Aylesbury (Bayne), at Dawlish (Rogers), and at Twyning (Bankes) • 

 whilst blackthorn hedges are chosen at Ipswich (Williams), at 

 Southend (Whittle), at Bexley, Darenth, Greenhithe, etc. (Bower) ; 

 around Strood, Cux.ton, Chattenden, etc., both whitethorn 

 and blackthorn hedges are selected. In the Gloucester district it 

 frequents roadside hedges, the larvae being observed resting high 

 up on bramble branches (Merrin) ; frequents open hedges at 

 Emsworth (Christy) ; affects all the hedgerows around Darenth, 

 where larvae are abundant in April (Newman) ; frequents thick 

 whitethorn and blackthorn hedges, as well as the woods in the 

 Reading district (Clarke) ; at Wimbledon, chooses the rough ground 

 south of the butts (Clifford).
