General comments:
Widespread but local; scarce in Middlesex.

Larvae of the Small Angle Shades are sometimes found amongst potted ferns in greenhouses or other ferns planted in gardens. The adult moth is more or less expected in light traps that are set amongst areas of woodland containing bracken. Elsewhere, the larvae are said to feed on trees and herbaceous plants.
