Everything about The Autumnal Rustic totally explained
The
Autumnal Rustic (
Eugnorisma glareosa) is a
moth of the family
Noctuidae. It was previously placed in the genus
Paradiarsia. It is found in northern and western
Europe.
The
forewings are usually pale grey, distinctively marked with a row of three angular black marks. The ground colour, however, is quite variable with pinkish or reddish forms occurring fairly frequently. In the north of
Scotland, including
Orkney and
Shetland, an almost black form occurs (some authorities regard this as a subspecies,
E. g. edda). The hindwings of the typical forms are white, grey in the darker forms. The
wingspan is 32-38 mm. This species flies at night in August and September and is attracted to light and
heather flowers.
The
larva feeds on a range of plants: It has been recorded on
bedstraws,
docks,
hawkweeds, heather,
lettuce,
plantains and
willows as well as
grasses such as
Poa. This species overwinters as a very small larva.
- The flight season refers to the British Isles. This may vary in other parts of the range.
