DistributionPhenologyReporting RatePhotos
Although this is a common species, it is certainly not possible to encounter it in all areas across Kent. An early season species, flying between February and April. It is largely absent from the Weald and most of the North Kent coast, but is a woodland specialist and so has pockets of density in suitable habitat.
This species is pretty distinctive, particularly if the antennae are seen which are actually orange but give the moth its name.
Birch
Grade 1 — adults are generally distinctive and unlikely to be confused with other species, but records outside documented range or flight period may require photos.
