The wings are gray, with two closely approximate and very conspicuous dark spots on the disc of the fore wings. a small dark apical mark at the costal edge and a discal spot on the fuscous hindwings. It is found in Palearctic realm (all Europe (absent only in the North and in the South), Russia, and Asia as far east as Japan).
The wingspan is 38–44 mm. The moth flies from March to May depending on the location. The larvae feed on oak, willow, Populus tremula, Fraxinus excelsior, Acer campestre, Humulus lupulus and honeysuckle. The nectar-feeding adults visit sallow blossom. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Twin-Spotted Quaker is recorded against all the insects logged in Prague (28 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
