The Barred Carpet (''Martania taeniata'') is a species of moth of the Geometridae family. It is found in large parts of the Palearctic ecozone. Its wingspan is 19–28 mm. The ground colour of the forewings is ochreous.The forewings have a dark-coloured central band. Very variable in size, pattern and colouring. the large white or whitish spot in the middle of the distal margin distinguishes ''taeniata'' from its nearest allies. There is one generation per year with adults on wing in July and August. The larvae probably feed on various moss species in the wild, but have been reared on various plants, such as ''Taraxacum officinale'', ''Stellaria media'' and ''Polygonum aviculare''. The larvae can be found from August to June. The species overwinters in the larval stage. ==Subspecies== *''Martania taeniata taeniata'' *''Martania taeniata obsoletum'' (Djakonov, 1929) (Kamchatka) 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「Martania taeniata」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
