Adult has variably brown forewings with a prominent white or orange spot around which two smaller ‘satellite’ white spots orbit. Overwinters and flies October-April. Larva feeds on a range of deciduous shrubs and trees. Widespread and fairly common in southern and central Britain; more local further north.
