Deciduous woodland.
One of several very similar moths which can be difficult to separate, best identified by means of genitalia dissection.
In general a little larger than S. ambigualis, with heavier markings, greyer in colour, and stongly chequred fringe.

Around fifteen records in recent years, however Tony Davis (national Pyralid Recording Scheme co-ordinator) remains sceptical as to their accuracy, believing most to probably be S. ambigualis.
