Field Notes

Description:

It's about 2 cm. I found it on the roof's wood.
The wingspan is 27–31 mm. The moth flies in Autumn depending on the location.

Habitat:

It occurs worldwide, including Africa,[1] Asia, Australia, Europe and America. In Europe, it is found in southern Europe, but may be found further north due to its migratory nature.

Notes:

The larvae feed on Jasminum officinale, Ligustrum, Forsythia and Olive.
