Peridroma saucia aka The Pearly underwing 



PT

Encontrei esta lagarta em 2012 (Se clicarem no ano, levar-vos-a ao post desta larva no blog principal) e desta vez não sabia se se tratava de Peridroma ou outro Noctuidae (As larvas são um pouco parecidas entre especies)
Alimentou-se em Trifollium sp (planta na qual encontrei) e mais tarde em Rumex e Plantago sp.
Para pupar, a larva enterra-se e faz um casulo de terra, no qual dentro pupa.
Envergadura 44-55cm

Found this caterpillar in 2012, (if you click in the year you'll see the first entry for this moth) and this time I didn't know exactly if it was Peridroma, or another Noctuidae (the larvae are a bit similar sometimes).
It fed on Trifollium sp (plant which I found) and later on Rumex and Plantago sp.
To pupate, it buries itself, making a soil cocoon, and then pupates inside.
Wingspan 44-55 cm

This blog is about Butterflies and moths that I raised and grew at home, and were already posted on my other blog, so in this one I'll post species that were already posted on last one, so the other one is only now for new species being raised and grown.
