Forewings are rather dark fuscous, somewhat whitish-sprinkled; a dark suffusion above dorsal dash; first discal stigma sometimes represented by an obscure dark fuscous dash, second cloudy, dark fuscous. Hindwings whitish-fuscous, becoming fuscous terminally. The larva is dull olive-green, often suffused with dark red; head dark red-brown; plate of 2 black, bisected, edged with pale yellowish anteriorly. [3]

Adults are on wing from July to October in one generation per year and come to light. [4] [5]

The larvae feed on cat's ear ( Hypochaeris radicata ), perennial sow-thistle ( Sonchus arvensis ) and dandelion ( Taraxacum species). They initially feed between spun leaves, but later amongst the roots of their host plant. Larvae can be found from May to July. [5]
