It is found in the Palearctic realm. The wingspan is 30–35 mm. A medium-sized owl with beautiful, light green or pale green front wings with numerous black spots. The caterpillar is black with white spots on the back and tufts of red hairs. The moth flies from May to September depending on the location. The larvae feed on oak, European beech and birch.

The pupa hibernates. The adults occur from mid-May to mid-July (rarely later) and oviposit often in small groups at oak. I found the caterpillars especially in July/early August on sunny oaks resting on the underside of leaves.
