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.
