The Hebrew Character (''Orthosia gothica'') is a Moth of the family Noctuidae . It is found throughout Europe . The forewings of this species are greyish to rufous brown. Typically these are marked with a black mark shaped like a letter C or L (or indeed a Hebrew letter). This is similar to the markings of the Setaceous Hebrew Character although the two species are not closely related. In this species this mark is sometimes split in two or even absent. The hindwings are grey and the Wingspan is 30-40 mm. This moth flies at night in March and April (sometimes later) and is attracted to light and various Flower s. The Larva is green with a pale stripe down each side and feeds on a wide variety of Plant s (see list below). This species overwinters as a Pupa . RECORDED FOOD PLANTS
