Jersey - noted in most years to be abundant, frequently seen at night and Hying in daylight; var. lutescens occurs 

 but is scarce; larvae stated to be difficult to rear, successful rearing can be achieved using a potted 

 lettuce covered with gauze on a wire frame and left out of doors the whole winter; larvae hibernate 

 when quite young, commencing feeding in spring after being supplied with a fresh potted plant; those 

 which try to feed up during the autumn and hibernate during 3rd or 4th instar do not survive the winter

 Groundsel, A.C. Halliwell, 1934a([12?]):312 {recorded as Callimorpha hera}.
