The White-pinion Spotted (''Lomographa bimaculata'') is a geometer moth species (family Geometridae). It belongs to the large geometer moth subfamily Ennominae, and therein to the tribe Baptini. It is – under its junior synonym – the type species of its genus ''Lomographa''. It is also (under its original name ''Phalaena bimaculata'') the type species of ''Bapta'', a junior objective synonym of ''Lomographa'' and the namesake of the Baptini.〔Pitkin & Jenkins (2004ab)〕 Two subspecies have been named, as well as several forms (e.g. ''bipunctata''):〔Kolar (1942), and see references in Savela (2009)〕 * ''Lomographa bimaculata bimaculata'' (Fabricius, 1775) * ''Lomographa bimaculata subnotata'' (Warren, 1895) ==Ecology and description== The rather common species inhabits mainly woodland and can be found all over Central and East Europe. However, it seems to be absent on the Balkans, between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Greece. It is also not found on Iceland and rarer at the periphery of its range; for example, north of the English Midlands and on Ireland it is found only locally.〔FE (2009), Kimber ()〕 East it extends into the Caucasus, Russia, the Russian Far East, Siberia, Central Asia and Japan The adults fly usually in early summer, e.g. from May to June in the British Isles. But in exceptional cases it is found later in the year; it was recorded in Germany in early August 1938, for example. It is a mainly nocturnal species which can be attracted to light by night. The adults' wingspan is 22–26 mm. The wings are a very pale silvery grey, with two dark grey spots on each forewing's leading edge, from which the two bands typical of Ennominae (but in this species consisting only of very small and weak grey speckles) run over the fore- and hindwings to form a semicircle. The body is also whitish.〔Kolar (1942), Kimber ()〕 This moth has a single generation per year (though late sightings suggest that this might not always be so). The caterpillars feed on ''Prunus'' species – including bird cherry (''Prunus padus'') and blackthorn (''Prunus spinosa'') – as well as on hawthorns (''Crataegus'').〔Kimber (), and see references in Savela (2009)〕 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「Lomographa bimaculata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
