gardens, lanes, and the outskirts of woods, pretty well all over England,
Wales, and Ireland. In Scotland, it seems to be rare and confined to the
south, but has been noted up to Glasgow. Very rarely the cross lines of the
fore wings are placed close together, but, except in the matter of size,
there is, as a rule, little variation.

is given on Plate 118, Fig. 1, is brownish, variegated with reddish or
purplish. It feeds, from August to June, on the foliage of hawthorn, sloe,
elder, etc., but is especially partial to ivy.

The moth is out in July, and sometimes an odd specimen or two will appear
in the autumn; one was captured at Gravesend on October 22, 1904.

The species is represented in Amurland and Japan by the smaller and whiter
var. _persica_, Menetries.
