Mid tibia with a terminal pair of minute spurs and hind tibia with two spur pairs. Forewings are rather long and narrow. Veins 3 to 5 from angle of cell. Vein 6 from upper angle and veins 7 to 10 are stalked. Hindwings with veins 3 to 5 from angle of cell. Veins 6 and 7 from upper angle. Vein 8 from middle of cell. Female with an abdominal tuft developed in most cases.

Diet It has a diet of a wide range of low-growing plants, including ground cover like grass and clover. The larvae are defoliators, skeletonizing the leaves they feed on, but only the late summer batch of caterpillars is plentiful enough to do much damage to crops. This species tends to have two to three life cycles p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spilosoma Urticae
''Spilosoma urticae'', the water ermine, is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in temperate belt of the Palearctic realm like similar '' Spilosoma lubricipedum'', but prefers drier biotopes.
