Description

Title:
Bright-line Brown-eye (Lacanobia oleracea) Moth
Caption / Description:

The Bright-line Brown-eye (Lacanobia oleracea) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is a common species throughout Europe, but is also found in North Africa, temporate Asia, the Near East and Middle East, northern India, China, Korea and Japan.

This species' common name is usefully descriptive: The forewings are dark reddish-brown marked with a prominent light orange-brown stigma and a bright white subterminal line. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the termen. The wingspan is 34-44 mm. They are attracted to light, sugar and nectar-rich flowers.

The larva is green or brown with black and yellow stripes down the side. It feeds on a wide range of plants and is occasionally a pest of cultivated tomatoes. The species overwinters as a pupa.

Flight from latter half of June to July. Occasional second generation from end of August to first half of September.
