Subspecies *''Eilema caniola caniola'' *''Eilema caniola torstenii'' von Mentzer, 1980 (Spain) Distribution and habitat This species can be found in North Africa, in western and southern Europe, in eastern Europe up to south-western Russia, in the Near East, in the eastern Palearctic realm, and in the Oriental realm. These thermophilic moths usually occur in urban areas and as a caterpillar on old walls, roofs, shingle beaches, and rocky areas. Technical description and variation The wingspan is 28–35 mm. It is almost the same in colouring as '' Eilema griseola'' and '' Eilema lurideola'' but the forewings are much smaller, the outer margin is oblique, only slightly excurved; the colour is much lighter, more yellowish grey, so that the pale yellow costal stripe is less prominent. Hindwings are very pale, scarcely darker at the costal margin, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
