Pale Brindled Beauty

Phigalia pilosaria

The Pale Brindled Beauty is a special moth with soft, furry wings that look like they are painted with light colors. They love to hide in trees and bushes during the day and come out at night to flutter around.

生息地: Forests

外見

The Pale Brindled Beauty male moth has pale greyish-white wings with faint, brindled (streaky) dark markings, helping it blend with tree bark. Unusually, the female is wingless and has a stout, grey body with darker spots, making her look quite different from the male.
