Found in open woodland, scrub, roadside verges etc.
Overwinters as a pupa while adults fly from dusk but may also be disturbed during the day.
Note Similar to Small Rivulet but in that species the white cross-band has a double indentation rather than a single one on its inner edge and also, more often, a fainter cross-line nearer the base.
