This moth is native to Europe, parts of Africa and parts of Asia. It has been introduced into western North America around 1950. Many types of plants can serve as hosts for breeding. In some areas, it is regarded as a pest of cereals, strawberry, other berry crops and some fruit trees. The adult moth has a wingspan of around 15-20 mm. The forewings are yellowish to light brown, with some markings in females, but not in males.
