  1. Had never heard of this one, even though it's mentioned to be common across Europe. Posted 5 years ago
    1. I struggle with moths but fortunately have a contact who is very modest and very, very helpful. I'm lucky. Posted 5 years ago

"Cerapteryx graminis", the antler moth, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is a common species throughout most of Europe but is lacking in the very dry southern regions. The northernmost occurrence is Iceland, and above the Arctic circle. It also occurs in Siberia and in North Mongolia.
