Subspecies mendicaria is found in the Alps and Mountains in central Europe, while subspecies vittaria is found from Fennoscandia, east through Russia and Asia to Japan.
The wingspan is 32–38 mm in central Europe and 25–36 mm in Fennoscandia. Adults are on wing from June to July.
The larvae feed on various low-growing plants, including Vaccinium and Betula species.
