General comments:
Widespread resident.

Woodland produces the bulk of the records of this distinctive species, though other sites also support it and damp habitat also seems likely to be important. There is some variation in the ground colour of the forewings, but the basic pattern is usually easily discernible making this an easy moth to identify.

Recorded in 37 (90%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2024.
