Common in pine woodland throughout much of southern England and Wales. First recorded in north-west Surrey in 1945, near the Hampshire border, this species is now widespread in southern Britain. In Hampshire increasingly common, but remaining very rare on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 20-26 mm. The bold reticulate forewing pattern is very characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds on Scots Pine.
