The bordered pug ''(Eupithecia succenturiata)'' is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found across the Palearctic region and the Near East. This is an easily recognisable species, mainly due to the combination of colours and its large size relative to most other pugs (wingspan 21–24 mm).Typically this moth has whitish forewings with broad dark grey margins or suffused with brown margins.It is very variable, however, and can be nearly all white or nearly all grey.There is a small dark-coloured discal spot.The hindwings are similar in colour with a small discal spot.The abdomen is conspicuously patterned.It is grey, with a white base.〔( Eupithecia succenturiata full description ) Watson, L., and Dallwitz, M.J. 2003 onwards. British insects: the genera of Lepidoptera-Geometridae. Version: 29th December 2011〕 The species flies at night from early June to late August and is attracted to light. The larva is reddish brown with black markings and usually feeds on the foliage of mugwort, although it has also been recorded feeding on ''Angelica'', bilberry, tansy and yarrow. The species overwinters as a pupa. ==References== *Chinery, Michael ''Collins Guide to the Insects of Britain and Western Europe'' 1986 (Reprinted 1991) *Skinner, Bernard ''Colour Identification Guide to Moths of the British Isles'' 1984 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「Bordered pug」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
