Widespread in Scotland and well represented across the Outer Hebrides. The sexes differ with the males having broader and squarer forewings and more feathery antennae. It’s largely a woodland species, on the wing in June and July. The larvae feed on a broad range of herbaceous plants, including dandelions (Taraxacum), docks (Rumex) and plantains (Plantago).
