The wingspan is about 10 mm. The forewings are white; sometimes an indistinct yellowish fascia towards apex, often entirely absent. Hindwings whitish-grey. The moths fly boldly towards dusk, and come freely to lamps, from June to July depending on the location.[1][2]
The larvae feed on Rumex acetosella.[3]
