About Ennomos quercaria (Hübner)
Ennomos quercaria, commonly called the clouded August thorn, is a moth species that belongs to the family Geometridae. Jacob Hübner first formally described this species in 1813. It is primarily distributed across southern Europe. There are two unconfirmed records of the species from Britain: one from the 19th century, and another from south-east England in 1992. This moth has a wingspan ranging from 28 to 35 millimeters. Adult moths are active and in flight between June and September. The larvae of Ennomos quercaria feed on a variety of oak species.
