Notes:
Nationally scarce (Nb) in fens, damp woodland, heathland and mosses throughout much of south-eastern England; widespread in south Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight, but uncommon in north Hampshire, where known from only a handful of sites, and not since the 1970s. Wingspan 20-24 mm. The superficially similar Green Oak Tortrix Tortrix viridana has grey hindwing and lacks the white costal streak of Cream-bordered Green Pea; two very rare immigrants, Spiny Bollworm E. biplaga and Egyptian Bollworm E. insulana, may also occur. Larva feeds on terminal shoots of Osier, Creeping Willow, and other species of Salix, over-wintering as a pupa.
