Common in gardens, hedgerows and scrub throughout much of the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight locally frequent, with an apparent increase in sightings in the first decade of the century. Wingspan 10-15 mm. The bright yellow ground colour of the forewing and concolorous head and thorax are distinctive of this species [Bradley]. Larva feeds on shoots and leaves of Rose, both cultivated and wild, living within a spun or rolled leaf, over-wintering as an egg.
