Davey, P., 2009: A frequent species in southern Britain, more local elsewhere, the larva feeding on oak (Quercus spp.), ash (Fraxinus spp.), alder (Alnus spp.), birch (Betula spp.), and a variety of other deciduous tree species. In Dorset, the moth is widespread and at low density, being most frequently encountered in deciduous woods but rare in open, treeless habitat. The peak of the second brood is on average, four times larger than that of the first brood.
