Svensson's copper underwing (''Amphipyra berbera'') is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is distributed throughout Europe including Russia East to the Urals. This species has a wingspan of 47–56 mm, the female usually larger than the male. The forewings are brown, marked with pale fascia and a dark-centred pale stigma. The hindwings are bright copper-coloured. This species is very similar to the copper underwing (''Amphipyra pyramidea'') but can usually be distinguished by the pattern on the underside of the hindwings: ''A. pyramidea'' has a pale central area, contrasting strongly with darker margins; ''A berbera'' is much more uniformly coloured. ''A. berbera'' flies at night from July to September and is attracted to light and strongly to sugar. The larva feeds on a range of trees and shrubs (see list below). The species overwinters as an egg. # ''The flight season refers to the British Isles. This may vary in other parts of the range.'' ==Recorded food plants== *''Acer'' - sycamore maple *''Carpinus'' - hornbeam *''Populus'' - aspen *''Quercus'' - oak *''Rhododendron'' *''Salix'' - willow *''Sorbus'' - rowan *''Syringa'' - lilac *''Tilia'' - lime See . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Svensson's copper underwing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
