Local in woodland, marshes, river-banks and other damp areas throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and Wight an uncommon and elusive species, which favours areas such as Harewood Forest, Botley Wood and Pamber Forest, but which is apparently absent from much of the New Forest. Wingspan 11-16 mm. The dark fuscous-brown coloration of the fore- and hindwings and the contrasting white antemedian fascia of the forewing are characteristic of this species [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Lesser Celandine, Alternate-leaved Golden-saxifrage, Dog's Mercury and similar, living within a spun or rolled leaf.
