Teleiodes vulgella
([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)
A fairly distinctive moth in the adult stage, this species has small blackish patches bordered by raised whitish scale-tufts, giving it a noticeably 'rough' appearance.
Quite a common species throughout most of Britain, the adults fly at night in June and July, and often visit the light-trap.
The larvae feed on a number of shrubs and trees, including hawthorn (Crataegus) and blackthorn (Prunus spinosa).
