33 – Bordered Sallow Moths
BORDERED SALLOW MOTH Pyrrhia
umbria
·
The Bordered Sallow Moth Pyrria
umbria (Noctuidae,
Helionthinae) prefers coastal habitats, and it
may also be found in woodlands. The larvae can feed on plants and trees found
in either of these habitats. This species is local in the UK but widely
distributed. This example had been attracted to light, but unfortunately, the
author cannot recall the location (probably somewhere in France). The
photograph has been scanned from a transparency. The
markings are distinctive.
