#caterpillars — Public Fediverse posts

The #moth #Eilema #caniola (#Arctiinae, #Erebidae), a #species that thrives in warm conditions, was originally distributed from Northwest Africa through Southern and Central #Europe to Western Asia; however, it is increasingly #expanding its #range #northward due to #globalwarming and has been appearing in #Berlin for about six or seven years. The #caterpillars feed on #saxicolous and #terricolous #lichens.

The #BarredSallow #Tiliacea #aurago (#Noctuidae, #Lepidoptera) is widespread in #Europe. The #caterpillars feed on European #beech, #hornbeam, and #oaks, as well as bilberry. Unlike other Noctuidae, the moths emerge in late summer and fly in the #autumn. The eggs overwinter. B. Benedek & J. Babics (2016) #taxonomically #revised the #genus Tiliacea.
