Lepidoptera The Common Wainscot Moth – Leucania Pallens
Fig. 144.-The Common Wainscot.
This moth is very much like the last. The fore wings exhibit the same three dots, but it may be distinguished by the pale colour of the hind wings.
The larva feeds on various grasses in March and April. It is of a pinkish grey colour, with two rows of black dots on each side of the dorsal line. There are also three stripes along the side, two of which are brownish and the other grey.
The moth is common everywhere from June to August.
