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.
Brown-spot Pinion, Agrochola litura,
The moth is from the family of Noctuidae, subfamily Xyleninae.
A fairly distinctive species, medium-sized macro moth, with a wingspan of 28 to 35 mm.
The moth as one generation and its flight season is from September to mid-October.
The moth's habitat is mainly— Various herbaceous plants and trees woodland, heathland and bushy suburban habitats.
It then overwinters as an egg.
The larva appears from April to early June feeding at night on herbaceous plants when young, and later on the leaves of deciduous trees, such as Oak and Hawthorn.
It then pupates in a cocoon underground about six weeks later.
The moth is a common resident of the UK.
