This is a variable species but always easy to recognize due to the two prominent dark fascia across each forewing which give the species its common name. The hindwings are pale grey with darker fringes and a small black discal spot. The wingspan is 15-19 mm. Two, sometimes three, broods are produced each year and the adults are on the wing in April and May (sometimes earlier), July and August, and sometimes later in the autumn ^[1]. It flies at night and is attracted to light and flowers, both of its food plants and others. Fascia is specialized connective tissue layer which surrounds muscles, bones, and joints, providing support and protection and giving structure to the body. ...
