– easy to identify, generally distinctive and unlikely to be confused with other species.ID pointers: An unmistakable moth. Diagnostic feature is the dark chocolate brown wing with a broad creamy-brown streak running from the head straight down the moths back then flaring out, like a pair of bird’s wings, towards the outer area of the forewing.
Distribution: (First record: 03/07/1977 at Hilton ) – (Last record: 24/07/2024 at Stonebroom ) – Described as a rare vagrant in 1986 with only 4 records from Derbyshire during 1977 – 1986 which may have indicated a range extension. The first record was in 1977 at Hilton to mv light. It is now a resident that is generally uncommon and only locally distributed in the county. Occurs in very small numbers most years, sometimes in single figures, being most frequently encountered in southern areas of the county. Seems to be very weather dependent, not recorded in wet seasons. During the period 2013-2018 it was only reported from four sites (all in 2014) all single moths.
