Reasonably common species in most of Britain & south of Scotland, where it is more local.

The Larvae feeds on the Catkins of Sallow & Willow.

They hide in spun leaves by day and feed at night.

Forewing grey brown or leaden grey, often with a reddish tinge; inner and outer lines double, conversely lunulate-dentate, but rarely visible; a thick dark median shade; stigmata grey, with pinkish annuli edged with rufous, the lower half of reniform black.

The Moth flies from September to October and is attracted to light.
