The juniper pug or juniper looper ''(Eupithecia pusillata)'' is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found throughout the Palearctic and Nearctic regions and the Near East. Subspecies ''interruptofasciata'' is sometimes treated as a valid species ''Eupithecia interruptofasciata''. The forewings are greyish brown with two distinctive black bands. The wingspan is 17–21 mm. The adults fly at night from July to September and are attracted to light. In the Old World the larva feeds on ''juniperus'' (juniper) and also on some other conifers in the cypress family such as ''Chamaecyparis'' and ''Thuja''. In the New World there is a greater range of recorded food plants including apple, clover, raspberry, redcurrant, strawberry, sunflower and willow as well as juniper. The species overwinters as an egg. #''The flight season refers to the British Isles. This may vary in other parts of the range.'' ==Subspecies== *''Eupithecia pusillata pusillata'' *''Eupithecia pusillata interruptofasciata'' Packard, 1873 (eastern United States and Canada) *''Eupithecia pusillata kashmirica'' Mironov & Ratzel, 2008 (Pakistan) *''Eupithecia pusillata scoriata'' Staudinger, 1857 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「Juniper pug」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
