Lesser Yellow Underwing

description Lesser Yellow Underwing Overview

The Lesser Yellow Underwing is a common noctuid moth distributed widely across Europe and first described in 1763. Its brown forewings provide camouflage when it rests, while the bright yellow hindwings are normally hidden beneath them. The hindwing color becomes visible when the moth flies, a defensive display found in many underwing moths. Its larvae feed on low-growing plants, and the species is a regular entry in European moth guides.
