This species is established and spreading in Suffolk. The larvae feed on the seeds of Acer keys. Presently these are falling if they have been eaten. I know they prefer Acer campestre but other Acer species may host them. If you have a Field Maple close to you take a look on the ground and examine the fallen keys. Below is a photo of the ground beneath my trees and then two of eaten into keys.
