SMALLAUTUMNAL MOTH EPIRRITA FILIGRAMMARIA (H. – S.) AND AUTUMNAL MOTH E. AUTUMNATA (BORKH.) (LEP.: GEOMETRIDAE) AT A SCOTTISH SITE
ROY LEVERTON Whitewells, Ordiquhill, Cornhill, Banffshire AB45 2HS.
Abstract
Epirrita filigrammaria (Herrich-Schaffer) and E. autumnata (Borkhausen) (Lep.: Geometridae) were studied at a site in Scotland during 1990-2007. They showed clear differences in flight period and in habitat preferences. The much earlier emergence period of E. filigrammaria, and the distinct appearance of its larva, were maintained when both taxa were reared side by side and on the same foodplant in captivity.
