The Bold-based Zale (''Zale lunifera'') is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It occurs primarily east and south of the Appalachian Mountains, from southern Maine south to Lee Co., Mississippi and Florida. It is not known from south-eastern Virginia or South Carolina, but the species may occur in these regions. Lack of suitable habitat in Maryland and Delaware make occurrence in these states unlikely. It also occurs inland to the mountains of Virginia and Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. In south-eastern Georgia it inhabits open, sandy pine-oak forest. The wingspan is 37–45 mm. Adults are on wing from April to May and from July to August. The larvae feed on various ''Quercus ilicifolia'' and other scrub oak species. ==External links== *(Taxonomic reassessment of Zale lunifera (Hübner) (Erebidae, Erebinae) ) *(Bug Guide ) 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「Zale lunifera」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
