The wingspan is 28–32 mm. Forewing grey brown, dusted with dark grey and reddish atoms: inner and outer lines marked by black spots on veins; submarginal line pale, indistinct; upper stigmata dark grey edged with pale and then with rufous ; hindwing dull grey. Like Orthosia stabilis, which it resembles in colouration, it varies according to the amount of red shown; — thus pallida Tutt is a very pale grey form without red, but sometimes slightly ochreous-tinged ; — pusillus Haw.is a darker grey form without red admixture ; — nanus Haw. is like the typical form, reddish grey, but paler ; — rufa Tutt is a rarer, reddish form; — lastly, ambigua Hbn. represents a dark redbrown or grey- brown insect with the lines and markings well shown [1]
