description Oak eggar moth Overview
The oak eggar, Lasiocampa quercus, is a large moth of Europe and parts of northern and western Asia in the family Lasiocampidae. Its name refers to the acorn-like shape of the cocoon rather than a dependence on oak; larvae use plants such as heather, bilberry, bramble, broom, hawthorn, and willow. Males are smaller, red-brown, and often fly by day in sunshine, whereas larger, paler females are mainly nocturnal [UK Moths](https://www.ukmoths.org.uk/species/lasiocampa-quercus/male/).
