About Lomographa temerata (Denis & Schiffermüller), 1775
This species is Lomographa temerata, first described by Denis & Schiffermüller in 1775. Adults have a wingspan of 22–26 mm. The wings have a whitish ground colour with a silky sheen. Forewings feature a black discoid spot, short black-brown markings at the base, and dark clouding in the distal section. This dark clouding varies greatly in intensity, and always leaves a broad white dentate subterminal line at least partially clear. Hindwings bear a small black central spot and weakly marked grey bands. The black spots on the upper side of the wings are also visible on the wing undersides. Mature caterpillars are green, with a yellow or reddish, often interrupted, line along the back. Pupae are brown. This species is distributed across most of Europe, the Russian Far East, Siberia, Central Asia, Transcaucasia, and Issyk-Kul. Its habitat includes woodland, suburban areas, bushy deciduous forests, mountain valleys, heathlands, hedges, meadows, and gardens.
