Hebrew Character
An easily identified species by the bright straw-coloured triangular marking on the leading edge of the forewing adjacent to a black mark which is thought to look like a letter from the Hebrew alphabet. The rest of the forewings are greyish brown or dark grey.
The larvae can be found June to July and September to April feeding at night and hiding close to the ground by day. The adults come to light, often in large numbers.
A wide range of herbaceous plants including Common Nettle (Urtica dioica), White Dead-nettle (Lamium album), willowherbs and burdocks.
Typically found in lowland habitats such as gardens but also woodland and marshes.
