ID pointers: An attractively marked little moth. Typically orange-bronze coloured with a pair of diagonal white cross bands edged black and a pale white basal streak that is weakly edged.
Distribution: (Last record: 15/01/2025 at Bray Clough, Glossop ) - Another restricted species to the moorlands of Derbyshire where Cowberry Vaccinium vitis-idaea grows. It is highly likely that this moth is under-recorded. There are records going back to the 70’s but this appears to be the first record since that time.
