Latticed Heath
This moth cannot be mistaken for any other species, due to the combination of its size, colour and wing shape. Flies gently in sunshine and can readily be disturbed from vegetation in dull weather. Also flies from dusk.
Usually feeds on Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), although this is not found at all localities where the moth occurs, so there must also be an alternative foodplant.
Inhabits open woodland and sometimes amongst long-established scrub.
