This rust-coloured bug is common on or around birch trees. The forewings are patterned and largely transparent, with the corium and clavus punctate. The clavus has three rows of punctures. Adults overwinter, emerging and breeding in the early spring, when they fly and emit mating calls using a strigil found on one of the hind wing veins.‥
