1334 Scoparia ambigualis

(Treitschke, 1829)

Wingspan 15-22 mm.

One of several very similar moths which can be rather difficult to separate.

The adults fly from May to July, and can be found resting on tree-trunks or rocks.

A common species throughout Britain, though until recently, the early stages have been undescribed.
