Common in woodland, damp heathland and mosses throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight widely distributed, but not particularly common. Wingspan 18-22 mm. The moderately large size and the whitish yellow ground colour of the forewing with obscure ferruginous-brown markings are characteristic [Bradley]. Larva feeds on various deciduous trees and shrubs, including Hazel, Ash, Buckthorn, Rowan, Birch and Bilberry, living within a spun or rolled leaf.
