Common in damp woodland throughout southern England, and less commonly in south-western Scotland and Ireland. Widely distributed and fairly common in Hampshire and on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 24-29 mm. The reticulate effect of dark cross-lines and veins make this an easy species to recognise [Goater]. Larva feeds on Winter-cress.
