Description

Body length 12 - 14mm. The body is a pale orange. The wing venation is the best way to identify this species as the veins thicken towards the pterostigma and there is a short spur on the cell below them.

Habitat

Woodland edge and hedgerows.

Status and distribution

Widely distributed but little recorded in England. Most records are from around the Midlands. Probably under-recorded due to its nocturnal lifestyle. This one came to a moth trap.

Best time to see

May to June.
