This day-flying moth, formerly known as 'Broad-blotch Drill', is associated with the foodplant Oxeye Daisy. D. flavidorsana is a similar-looking species but that feeds on Tansy. If not with the foodplant these species can only be told apart by genitalia dissection. It belongs to the family Tortricidae.
