- Generally Common / Widespread
- care required in the identification process, as confusion with similar species is likely - quality photographs required. ID pointers: Fairly easy to identify. When fresh the moth is green but quickly fades to yellowish-green tones. Most specimens show a greyish, broad central cross-band through the forewing. This can be reduced to a number of fine wavy cross-lines. There are also a number of dashes on the veins towards the trailing edge of the forewing.
Distribution: Added to the county list in 1973. In 1983 reported as very scarce and local throughout Derbyshire. By 2006 the moth was reported as being more widespread. Seems to be established in the south and central regions of Derbyshire.
