Field Notes

Description:

This morning I found this moth on house's wall.
This species is unmistakable within its range, with bright yellow wings marked with small brown patches along the costa of the forewing and a small brown-edged white stigma, also on the forewing. The wingspan is 33–46 mm. The moth sometimes flies during the day but mainly at night, and is attracted to light.

Habitat:

The Brimstone is found throughout the Palearctic region and the Near East.
