Nationally scarce (Nb) in woodland and hedgerows in parts of England, except the north-east, and in north Wales. A scarcely seen insect in Hampshire with a very scattered distribution, mainly away from the chalk; there are two old records from the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 11-14 mm. The three pale, evenly-spaced spots on each forewing make this a distinctive member of the Oecophoridae. Larva feeds on dead wood, perhaps most frequently of Hazel.
