General comments:
Widespread but local resident.

This readily recognised moth can only really be confused with Butterbur, which is much more localised in its distribution. Records seem to suggest that the Rosy Rustic has always been a fairly widespread and common species and it is a regular in many garden moth traps and is frequently encountered in the wider countryside in grassland, woodland rides and on some field edges.
