Similar in appearance to Ptychoptera contaminata but can be identified with care from the wing markings. 

Good photographs required showing the wing markings please.

Likes areas with small streams, including woodland streams.

Adults are primarily found from May to July (peaking in June) in the U.K but have been recorded as late as September.

Widely distributed in England and Wales, becoming less frequent in Scotland.

Status in Leicestershire and Rutland not known.
