- care required in the identification process, as confusion with similar species is likely - quality photographs required. ID pointers: Forewing whitish silvery grey with orange-brown spots, in some cases raised speckling. Black marks on the leading edge of the forewing at about one half and near the base. Blends in exceptionally well against birch trunks. This specimen was determined by Gen.Det but prep photos were not taken.
Distribution: (Last record: 25/07/2023 at Chaddesden, Derby ) - Probably local and well distributed wherever there is birch (Betula). Very few records hence the status as very rare.
