Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Red Underwing moth - Catocala nupta This large moth with a wingspan of over three inches was resting on the chicken hut door. Unfortunately I was unable to photograph its dramatic underwing but when it flew off there was a flash of bright red from under its fore-wings. This display is to momentarily startle its predator and gives the moth a chance to escape.
The Red Underwing is mostly found in southern and eastern England and is seen in August and September. Its caterpillars feed on poplars and willows and are camouflaged by resembling twigs. |
