Hantsmoths

Common in wooded gardens, hedgerows and woodland edges throughout the British Isles. In Hampshire widespread, but not very common; decidedly uncommon on the Isle of Wight. Wingspan 20-29 mm. Distinguished by its relatively large size and the reticulate greyish brown forewing with strong costal markings [Bradley]. Larva polyphagous on the foliage of Ivy and a number of deciduous and coniferous trees and shrubs, and various herbaceous plants, living within a spun or rolled leaf.
