Notes:
Local, in broad-leaved woodland and scrub, throughout much of England and Wales, also in western Ireland. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, considered to be a very rare moth until the advent of m.v. light; it is now known to be widespread and fairly common, though only recorded from the north of the Island. Wingspan 35-42mm. Larva feeds on various broad-leaved trees, including Downy Birch, Alder and Goat Willow, over-wintering as a pupa.
