Information AboutGothic (moth) |
The Gothic (''Naenia typica'') is a Moth of the family Noctuidae . It is distributed throughout most of Europe . This species has a Wingspan of 36-46 mm. The forewings are broader than most other noctuids, blackish with a network of fine white lines (supposedly reminiscent of some elements of Gothic Architecture ). The hindwings are grey. The species flies at night in June and July . It sometimes comes to light but is not generally strongly attracted. By contrast it is strongly attracted to sugar and flowers. The Larva , which is gregarious when young, is greyish-brown with dark lines along the side and blackish markings at the hind end. It is Polyphagous , feeding on a wide range of plants (see list below). This species overwinters as a larva. |
