About Eupithecia venosata (Fabricius, 1787)
This is a description of Eupithecia venosata, first described by Fabricius in 1787. The forewings of this species measure 10–14 mm in length. The base ground colour of both the forewings and hindwings ranges from brown to creamy white. The forewings are large and round in shape. Several light-coloured lines with black edges, plus veins that are partially black, combine to create a characteristic lattice pattern. The hindwings have a similar pattern, but the pattern is much less distinct and pronounced. Eupithecia venosata very strongly resembles Eupithecia schiefereri, and the two species can only be clearly distinguished from one another through genital examination.
