Passenger Moth

Found in gardens, edges of woodlands, and shrublands across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Larvae feed on leaves of plants like Bramble (Rubus), Willow (Salix), and Genista. Adults feed on nectar from various flowers.

Night-flying (nocturnal) generally seen from May to September. They exhibit distinctive camouflage when at rest to mimic bark or shadows.

No significant risks to humans. Beneficial to the ecosystem as pollinators and as a food source for bats and birds.
