Localities for this species are Bromsgrove, York, Hud¬

Leicester, Peterborough, Box Hill, Durham, Tonbridge, 
Weston-super-Mare, Hammersmith, Knutsford, Birming¬ 
ham, West Wickham Wood, and Linwood near Market 
Rasen. 
The situations where it is found are moist meadows 
and grounds, for the most part near woods. 
The dates of the appearance of the perfect insect are 
from the beginning of June to the end of July. 
The caterpillar is greyish ash-colour, with a double 
row of black dots arranged triangularly along the back, 
and a reddish stripe along the sides, above which is a 
narrow whitish one. 
The date of the appearance of the caterpillar is from 
May to June. 
The caterpillar feeds on the sorrel {Rumex acetosella ), 
the thrift (Statice armeria), and the bitter cress ( Car- 
dam ine pratensis ). 
This is a very local species, but sufficiently common 
where it is met with. One is always glad to meet with 
it. It is a slow flier, and is on the wing in the day-time.
