This occasionally obscurely-marked species is relatively uncommon and found locally in south and south-east England, with a few records from further north into Scotland and in Wales.
Flying in a single generation, moths are on the wing in June/July, and inhabits woods, thickets and hedgerows.
The larvae feed on Prunus, particularly blackthorn (P. spinosa) but also other related foodplants occasionally.
