ID pointers: A broad and pointed forewing that is delicately patterned with orange-red cross lines and veins. The oval and kidney marks are pale centred and also outlined in reddish orange. Ground colour is pale orange. Fairly diagnostic.
Distribution: (Last record: 29/10/2024 at Cromford ) - A resident that is uncommon, scarce and locally distributed in Derbyshire. Only recorded in very small numbers each year and seems to occur wherever there are Lime trees in both rural and urban areas. Rarely comes to light, so maybe this is why it is under recorded.
