Hello, from Steve Garten and welcome to my weird and wonderful world of moths.
I’m amateur Lepidopterist, I trap and record moth species on my six acre wildlife meadow at Tibenham Norfolk, UK.
The list of moths listed in this Macro-moths blog and the Micro Moths blog are the species I have recorded since 2015.

The moth is from the family of Noctuidae, subfamily Xyleninae.
It Is a medium-sized macro moth,
with a wingspan of 32 to 40 mm.

It then overwinters as a larva almost fully grown from August to May.
Feeding at night and hides in leaf litter by day.
It then pupates in an underground cocoon.
The moth's habitat is mainly woodland, heathland, scrub, grassland and moorland.
