Field Notes

Description:

The wingspan is 40-46 mm. The moth flies from May to August depending on the location. The larvae feed on Rubus and Willow.

Habitat:

It is found in Europe (but primarily in Southern Europe), North Africa and the Near East. This one was found in my garden in not the best condition- one antenna missing (I don't believe it survived much).
