Moths 13 – Dingy Footman Moths
DINGY
FOOTMAN MOTH Eilema griseola
·
The Dingy
Footman Moth Eilema griseola
is one of
several similar species belonging to the family Arctiidae, so appropriate references will probably be
required to separate them by non-experts. The shape of the forewings and the
extent of the yellow markings are significant. This freshly emerged example was
photographed in Powys, North Wales, where it had been attracted to light. Damp
habitats are favoured.
