Not a particularly common species, this, and only so in the south of England. Quite a few records for Essex, though, and often found in grassland and on waste ground.

In this case, the first time I saw these were at the west edge of the "Redbridge Field" in the old sewage works site. The previously mown grass had been allowed to "go wild" and there were a group of them around the resultant Compositae.
