__NOTOC__ The Flame (''Axylia putris'') is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found throughout Europe then East across the Palearctic to Armenia, West Siberia and Amur, Korea and Japan. The range extends into North India. This species has creamy-buff forewings (sometimes tinged with red) with black streaking along the costa. The hindwings are whitish with a dark line along the margin. The wingspan is 30–36 mm. Unusually for a noctuid, this moth rests with its wings wrapped tightly around its body making it resemble a broken twig. It flies at night in June and July (sometimes a second brood is produced which flies in September) and is attracted to light. ==Description== :''See glossary for terms used'' Forewing ochreous, the costal area, including cell, dark brown; dark brown patches at outer margin on both folds, the upper connected with outer line by a dark double streak; inner line strongly angulated; outer represented by a double row of vein-dashes: orbicular and reniform stigmata with dark centres and rings; the former small and round, more rarely flattened: the latter large; hindwing whitish, variably suffused with grey; — the form ''triseriata'' Moore, originally described from N. India, but occurring in Japan and Corea as well, is larger and darker. .〔Seitz, A.
