 The Small Chocolate Tip is given in the Twizell list, and 

 though there was no specimen in the collection there is no reason 

 to doubt its occurrence. Mr. Bolam of Berwick says: "The 

 larvae may be found in plenty, spun up between the leaves of 

 the Creeping Sallow {Salix fusca) in most localities where that 

 plant is found, and the Moth is not difficult to rear. I have 

 taken it at Kyloe, IS'ewham Bog, Grordon Moss, etc." Trans. 

 Berwickshire Field Club, vol. xv., p. 303. Mr. Finlay found the 

 species in great abundance on ISTeedless Hall Moor and elsewhere. 

 Mr. Pickard also found it on the Durham moors about Wolsing- 

 ham, and it probably occurs on most of the boggy moors where 

 Dwarf Sallow grows freely. It is a species that flies very early 

 in the morning rather than at night.
