General comments:
Widespread resident.

This species seems far more frequent than Rivulet and certainly so in Middlesex. In common with views expressed in some other texts the foodplant (Hemp Nettle, Galeopsis) appears to be absent from many sites where the moth is present; there may be an unknown alternative awaiting discovery or the plant may be overlooked. Larvae have been found on Galeopsis in our area at at Jacott's Hill, Cassiobury, but that was in 1966 - things may have changed?
