DistributionPhenologyReporting RatePhotos
Common and widespread throughout Kent.
A species with a unique, tentiform resting posture, giving the appearance of dead leaf. The only similar species would be Beautiful Hook-tip, which tends to rest with wings flat, and has a smooth outer edge to the forewing with only two projections. The Scalloped Hook-tip has, as its name suggests, a heavily scalloped outer edge to the forewing.
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.
