The scorched wing or straight-lined plagodis (''Plagodis phlogosaria'') is a species of moth of the Geometridae family. It is found in all of North America except the far south and Yukon and Alaska. The binomial name refers to the Greek ''phlogos'' (meaning "flame"), ''phlogistos'' (meaning "to burn" or "inflame") or ''phlogosis'' (meaning "inflammation"). This refers to the patches on both the fore- and hindwing, which look like they are scorched. The wingspan is 28–38 mm. The moth flies from April to August depending on the location. The larvae feed on alder, basswood, birch, black cherry, chokecherry, hazel and willow. ==Subspecies== The following subspecies are recognised: *''Plagodis phlogosaria iris'' *''Plagodis phlogosaria bowmanaria'' *''Plagodis phlogosaria approximaria'' *''Plagodis phlogosaria keutzingaria'' *''Plagodis phlogosaria purpuraria Pearsall'' *''Plagodis phlogosaria illinoiaria'' 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「Plagodis phlogosaria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
