About Amata fortunei De L'Orza, 1869
Amata fortunei, commonly called the white-spotted moth, is a moth species belonging to the family Erebidae. This species was first formally described by De L'Orza in 1869. It is distributed in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The wingspan of adult moths ranges from 30 to 37 millimeters. This is a day-flying moth species. There are two generations per year, with adult moths active on the wing from early June to mid July, and again from mid August to mid September. The larvae of Amata fortunei feed on the leaves of Trifolium repens, Taraxacum species, Equisetum arvense, and Typha angustifolia. These larvae consume both living plant tissue and dead leaves.
