The Heart and Club (''Agrotis clavis'') is a Moth of the family Noctuidae . It is distributed throughout Europe . The common name of this species refers to the supposed shapes of the bold dark Stigma ta on the usually pale forewings. In this species all the stigmata have a rounded shape, contrasting with the elongated claviform stigmata of the much commoner Heart And Dart . The hindwings are grey, usually much darker than in Heart and Dart and Turnip Moth . The Wingspan is 35-40 mm. The moth flies at night in June and July and is attracted to light and sugar. The Larva feeds on a variety of Herbaceous plants (see list below). The young larva feeds on the leaves of the food plant, later feeding on the roots. It overwinters as a full-grown larva in a cavity in the soil before Pupa ting in the spring. |
