Selenia dentaria
The Early Thorn is a special moth that looks like a little piece of bark! It has beautiful, soft wings that help it hide in trees and bushes during the day.
Hábitat: Forests
The Early Thorn has jagged, thorn-like wings, usually pale yellow to reddish-brown with a distinct white or dark band across the forewings. This unique wing shape helps it blend seamlessly with dead leaves or twigs, making it hard to spot.
