Silver Barred
The Silver Hook is named after the distinctive creamy white hook-like markings on the otherwise deep brown forewings. It is a smallish, slender moth with grey streaks along the leading and trailing edges of the wing which can have a pinkish tinge when freshly emerged. Although it can be seen flying by day and is easily disturbed from vegetation, it also flies at night.
The larva feeds on various grasses and sedges including Tufted Hair-grass and Wood Sedge.
Boggy heathlands, marshes, fens, and damp upland grassy moorland.
