Nomophila noctuella
Rush Veneer
63.052 BF1398
Wingspan 26-32 mm.
When at rest, this moth has a very elongated and narrow shape, which makes it easily recognisable.
A well-known migrant, it can often be found in large numbers at coastal watch-points, and tends to occur in the adult stage between May and September.
The larvae feed on clover (Trifolium spp.) and various grasses.
