A very rare moorland species in Belgium, now possibly extinct. Used to be seen in very small numbers in the Kempen and Ardennes area.
Native
Hibernates as a larva. They visit flowers and come to light and sugar.
The adults are on the wing in one generation from mid July towards September, with a peak in August.
The larva lives presumably on a variety of herbaceous plants and shrubs like: Vaccinium and Calluna vulgaris, and also on Salix and Betula.
