The scalloped oak ''(Crocallis elinguaria)'' is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is a common European species. This is a distinctive species, usually with yellow forewings with a broad orange-brown band and a pointed apex. There can be considerable variation, with the central band sometimes the same colour as the rest of the forewing, ranging from pale yellow to orange-brown. Melanic forms are also known. There is always a blackish discal spot on the forewing. The hindwings are plain whitish. The wingspan is 40–46 mm. The adults fly at night in July and August and are attracted to light, sometimes in large numbers. The larva, grey and twig-like, feeds on various trees and shrubs (see list below) and is omnivorous and cannibalistic feeding also on smaller larvae. 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 == *''Alnus'' - Alder *''Betula'' - Birch *''Calluna'' - Heather *''Corylus'' - Common hazel *''Lonicera'' - Honeysuckle *''Populus'' - Aspen *''Prunus'' - Bird cherry *''Rhamnus'' - Buckthorn *''Ribes'' - Currant *''Rosa'' - Rose *''Rubus'' - Raspberry *''Salix'' - Willow *''Sorbus'' - Rowan *''Syringa'' - Common lilac *''Tilia'' - Lime *''Vaccinium'' 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「Scalloped oak」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
