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.
Bulrush Wainscot, Nonagria typhae .
The moth is from the family of Noctuidae, subfamily Xyleninae.
This is a large distinctive-looking macro moth species, with a wingspan of 45 to 50 mm.
The moth as one generation and its flight season are from July to September.
It feeds on bulrush and lesser bulrush.
It overwinters as an egg.
The larva appears from April to early-August.
The moth's habitat is mainly— pond margins, ditches, fens, marches, esturies.
The moth is a common resident of the UK.
