Common in gardens and woodland throughout the British Isles. Widespread and common in Hampshire, distribution on the Isle of Wight apparently restricted to the south and west. Wingspan 14-19 mm. The form f. brunneana resembles the closely related species A. permutana in general appearance [Bradley]. Larva has been recorded on many species of Rosaceceae favouring Wild and Cultivated Rose, and Blackthorn, living within a spun or rolled leaf, and over-wintering as an egg.
