Pond edge bordering heathland
The group of moths known as China-marks are unusual in that their larvae are entirely aquatic, feeding on water plants. This species is quite variable, and some examples are quite dark and dull-looking, whereas others can have delicately-patterned white patches and streaks. The moth flies in July and August, and the species is fairly common around ponds, lakes and canals throughout Britain. - UK Moths
