Notes:
Common, on chalk downland and waste ground, throughout much of Britain, less numerous in Scotland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, widespread and common. Wingspan 17-20mm. Although this is a variable species, it is usually easy to recognise by the rather short, broad wings, contrasting pattern and the distinctly ochreous rather than grey hue [Goater]. Larva feeds on various mosses and decaying vegetable matter.
