DistributionPhenologyReporting RatePhotos
Distributed locally across Kent, this species is more likely to be found close to the coast than Satin Lutestring but occurs in most habitats, including gardens.
It can be separated particularly from Satin Lutestring by the presence (normally) of two dark 'dots' in the middle of the forewing and the presence of a 'dash' starting at the tip of the forewing (on Satin Lutestring this 'dash' starts well before the tip of the forewing).
Grade 2 — adults can be confused with other species, so good quality photographs or possibly a specimen will be required if the recorder is not familiar with the species.
