Yellow Underwing
''Noctua'' (Latin for "little owl") is a genus of moths. They have dull, cryptic forewings and often very bright hindwings. These are hidden under the forewings when the moths rest, leading to their common name of yellow underwings. They are not particularly closely related to the "true" underwing moths (''Catocala'') though, apart from both being Noctuoidea (and in the traditional classification, Noctuidae). They are good fliers.

Noctua Janthe
''Noctua janthe'', the lesser broad-bordered yellow underwing, is a moth of the family Noctuoidea. Some authors consider ''Noctua janthe'' and '' Noctua janthina'' to be the same species. It is found in Europe and North Africa. The wingspan is 30–40 mm. The length of the forewings is 16–20 mm. The ground colour of the forewings varies from bright ochre to gray to brown, often with a reddish or light purple tint. Orbicular and reniform are not clearly marked. The hindwing is orange-yellow with a broad distal black band. This species can only be separated from '' Noctua janthina'' by examination of the genitalia. See Townsend et al. The moth flies in one generation from late June to September. The larvae feed on various deciduous trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants.

Charles Boursin
Charles Boursin (1901–1971) was a French entomologist, born into a comfortable bourgeois Catholic family in Nantes. Having had a German governess, he spoke German (like a native) from his earliest days and remained "perfectly" bilingual in both during his lifetime. He also spoke Hungarian and Russian. Despite his formal humanist education he showed an early interest in the natural sciences. On arriving in Paris from Nantes in 1920, he immediately made contact with Parisian entomological circles, and in 1922 was admitted as a member to the Societe Entomologique de France and helped in the creation of ''L'amateur de Papillons,'' and with his new colleagues and friends hunted Lepidoptera in Colmars-les_Alpes, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes and elsewhere At this time, welcomed by Professor Louis Bouvier, he also began to work as a volunteer at the entomological laboratories of Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, where he worked to classify the Noctuidae and many o ...

Ignaz Schiffermüller
Ignaz Schiffermüller (born 2 October 1727 in Hellmonsödt; died 21 June 1806 in Linz) was an Austrian naturalist mainly interested in Lepidoptera. Schiffermüller was a teacher at the Theresianum College in Vienna. His collection was presented to the old United Royal and Imperial Natural History Collections (Vereinigtes k.k. Naturalien-Cabinet) at the Hofburg where it burnt during the revolution in 1848. With Michael Denis, also a teacher at the Theresianum, he published the first index of the Lepidoptera of the Viennese region ''das Systematische Verzeichnis der Schmetterlinge der Wienergegend herausgegeben von einigen Lehrern am k. k. Theresianum'' (1775). His collection is in the ''Kaiserlichen Hof-Naturalienkabinett'' (now Naturhistorisches Museum Wien). Schiffermüller is also noteworthy for his work in developing a scientifically based colour nomenclature. In his ''Versuch eines Farbensystems'' (1772), Schiffermüller addressed the need for a standardised nomenclature wi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Michael Denis

Noctua Janthina
The lesser broad-bordered yellow underwing or Langmaid's yellow underwing (''Noctua janthina'') is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed throughout southern and central Europe, and southern Sweden. Like other members of its genus this species has bright orange-yellow hindwings but as the common name suggests the black sub-terminal bands are very broad and account for about half the area of the hindwings. The forewings are more cryptically marked but are generally more attractively marked than in its congenators, variegated in shades of buff and purplish-brown. The wingspan is 34–44 mm. This species can only be separated from ''Noctua janthe'' and the disputed '' Noctua tertia'' by examination of the genitalia. See Townsend et al. The adults fly at night from the latter half of July to August and are attracted to light and sugar. The larva is brown with v-shaped markings along the back. It feeds on a wide variety of plants (see list below). The species ove ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
