– care required in the identification process, as confusion with similar species is likely – quality photographs required. ID pointers: The narrow and elongated forewing with intricate light and dark grey marbling and strongly angled cross-lines with white edging is diagnostic. Usually a white spot in the discal mark and a prominent white tornal spot.
Distribution: A resident that is widely distributed across the moorlands of Derbyshire, favours heather which is the food plant, generally uncommon elsewhere, so this record from Findern is most unusual. Latest records seem to indicate that it is represented down the Derwent and Rother Valleys.
