This species is found in Europe in the north to the Arctic Circle. To the east it ranges across the Palearctic including North Africa, Siberia, Iran, the Altai Mountains, Kamchatka, Kashmir, India, China, Korea, Japan and Taiwan. In the Alps and India, it rises to elevations of over 1600 m.

This moth can often be found in numbers around dusk, flying over patches of the foodplant, nettle (Urtica dioica). It is on the wing from June to August, and again later in the autumn. It occurs on waste ground, gardens, woodland and other places where nettle occurs. The larvae feed also on on nettle (Urtica species), hop (Humulus species), ground-elder (Aegopodium sp.) and Stachys species.

Forewings grey-brown with two red-brown transverse bands, the inner one wavy and the outer one straight; wing tips pointed. Palps strikingly long.
