About Agrochola humilis (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775
Agrochola humilis is a species of moth belonging to the family Noctuidae. This moth can be found in parts of central and southern Europe, as well as in Asia Minor. Its wingspan measures 30 to 40 millimeters. Its forewings are long and narrow, with a ground color that ranges from pale brown and ash grey to olive-grey. The antemedial and postmedial lines are double and nearly straight, while the subterminal line is ochreous and often interrupted by dark spots. The veins are clearly visible; the orbicular and reniform stigmata are large, pale beige-brown, and outlined. The hindwings are pale ochreous grey, and most individuals have a dark discal spot on the hindwings. Adult moths fly from September to October, and they prefer habitats of dry oakwoods. They are strongly attracted to both artificial light and sugar bait. This species overwinters in the egg stage. Its larvae feed on the leaves of a variety of plants; recorded food plants include Fraxinus, Salix, Ulmus, Taraxacum, and Plantago.
