Mother Shipton Moth

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Mother Shipton Moth, (Callistege mi) is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It was classified by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1759, and is also known under the name of Euclidia mi. In Finnish it is known as Piirtoy kk nen and in German as Scheck-Tageule. Its habitat spans over most of Europe, Siberia, the Far East and Asia Minor. On the British Isles it is most common in England and Wales; less so in Scotland and Ireland. It flies by day, normally taking only short, rapid flights, and can be found in wasteland and other open habitats. The adult moth's forewing is 13 to 16 mm (0.51 to 0.63 inches) long, and the wingspan is 25 to 30 mm (0.98 to 1.18 inches). The stages of its life cycle are as follows: egg: May - September, larva: June - September, pupa: July - May, and imago: May - July. It hibernates as a pupa, and does so in a cocoon among blades of grass, or right underneath the ground. Among its foods is the nectar of the white clover and the creeping buttercup.
