The moth is out in May and June, and in some localities again in August and
September. It is fond of sitting on rocks, and also on tree-trunks.

Except that it has been found, not infrequently, on Dartmoor and Exmoor, in
Devon, and has also been once noted from Dorset, the species in England is
chiefly an inhabitant of the northern counties. It occurs in Wales, but
almost exclusively in the north. In Scotland it appears to be widely

MOTTLED GREY (_Malenydris multistrigaria_).

The fore wings in the typical form of this species are grey, with a slight
brownish tinge; basal patch, central band, and shade before the whitish
submarginal line, sometimes darker. (Plate 77, Figs. 1 [male], 2 [female].)
In some specimens the central band is very much darker (ab. _virgata_,
Tutt); and in some parts of {187} south-west Yorkshire a blackish form (ab.
_nubilata_, Tutt) is not uncommon. (Plate 77, Fig. 3.)

The caterpillar is ochreous grey, with three brownish lines along the back,
and two other lines on each side, the upper one yellowish, wavy, and edged
above with dusky. It feeds on bedstraw (_Galium_) in May and June. (Plate
73, Fig. 3.)

The moth is out in March and April, and keeps pretty much to the shelter
afforded by its food plant or other herbage around in its favourite haunts,
which are damp woodlands, heaths, and mosses. Occasionally, however, it may
be seen on the lower parts of fences, tree-trunks, rocks, etc. About dusk
it may be found sitting on grass and other vegetation, and at such times is
not much disposed to fly away from the collector.
