This pretty little moth can be found flying around Hawthorn during the late afternoon and early evening when it also comes to light. The pinkish larvae can also be found by examining Hawthorn for two berries spun together with a small amount of silk and the larva is usually inside one of the berries. Always scarce in the north of England the first Durham record was an adult netted and photographed on Hawthorn at Bishop Middleham Quarry on 25th June 2009. Since then there have been a further 36 records, 12 of which are larval.
