Oh, we can only dream that this moth would reclaim its territorial name! Last recorded from Kent in circa 1860, this species can now only be found in the Highlands of Scotland and across the Channel in France. It is a Birch and Alder feeder and seems to prefer Birch woodland and heathland with young Birch and Alder regeneration. An unmistakable species.
