Notes:
Common in farmland, gardens, calcareous grassland, acid heathland and moorland, throughout most of the British Isles; in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight quite common on the chalk and in waste places with clover, and also found in clover crops. Wingspan 26-32mm. Flies both by day, in warm sunshine, and at night. Although distinctive, it has been confused with Common Heath Ematurga atomaria, but only Latticed Heath has such conspicuous, black veins; there is a confusing black form alboguttata, which is best distinguished by the chequered fringes. Larva feeds on Hare's-foot Clover, White Clover, Red Clover, Bird's-foot Trefoil and Lucerne, over-wintering as a pupa.
