Notes:
Common in woodland, scrub, hedgerows, grassland, heathland, moorland and gardens, throughout the British Isles, at low altitudes in the north; widespread and common in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan male 40-45mm, female wingless. Somewhat similar to Scarce Umber Agriopis aurantiaria and Dotted Border A. marginaria, which see for differences. Larva, formerly considered a pest, feeds on various broad-leaved trees and shrubs, including Oak, Birch, Hazel, Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Apple, Dog-rose, Sycamore, Hornbeam and Elm, over-wintering as an egg.
