Field Notes

Description:

42mm wingspan
Common name translated from the French name.

Habitat:

Balcony, attracted from surrounding countryside by night light.

Notes:

A number of resources, including Wiki, give the wingspan of this as 20-23mm, however the one I have listed in the references shows 25-58mm which covers the size of this one.
