TUNNISTUSAPUA PYYDETÄÄN

 



  Tunnistaako kukaan tätä yökkösen toukkaa? Kuvattu meidän pihassa toukokuun alussa. Näyttää aika samanlaiselle kuin Kolmioruuniyökkönen  (Xestia triangulum) mutta onko se? Pihassa on paljon pensaikkoa.

  1. I was thinking Elephant Hawk Moth Caterpillar. But google lens suggested Large Yellow Underwing Moth. It's a lovely caterpillar :-D

    1. It looks pretty similar, the time of emergence of the larva seems to fit it.

  2. I used an app for identification. It tells me it's a Noctua comes, but I don't know if it's right. Nice photo.

    1. That's Peridroma saucia apparently a random visitor here, it hasn't been reported to this area.

  4. Can it be Noctua pronuba? It's a native Eurasian species with an extraordinarily huge range (even found in North America).

    1. The caterpillar looks pretty similar. Noctua comes looks exactly like the one in our yard.

    1. Butterfly larvae are truly fascinating! They don't look pretty, but they turn into absolutely beautiful butterflies.
