PALE BRINDLED BEAUTY (_Phigalia pedaria_).

The fore wings of this species (Plate 122, Figs. 9 [female], 10, 11 [male])
are greyish, tinged with greenish or brown, and sprinkled with darker grey
or brownish; the irregular cross lines are blackish. Occasional specimens
in the north of England are more or less sprinkled with yellow buff or
orange buff, and in these the cross-markings may be present or absent. A
more frequent form of aberration in the north is a general darkening of the
colour in {296} the direction of ab. _monacharia_, Staud., which is smoky
black with the veins black, and occurs chiefly in South Yorkshire.

The caterpillar, figured on Plate 126, Fig. 1, from a  drawing by
Mr. A. Sich, is dull reddish brown, relieved with rust red mottling; the
notched head is greyish brown. It feeds, in the spring, on birch, oak, elm,
lime, poplar, sallow, hawthorn, sloe, plum and other fruit trees, rose,
etc.

The moth is out as a rule during the first two or three months of the year,
but it has been noted in November and December, and also in mid-June. It
may be seen in the daytime on tree-trunks, palings, etc., but the female
secretes herself in any convenient cranny, and is not easily detected. The
male flies at night, and comes freely to light.

The species is pretty generally distributed throughout England and Wales,
and Scotland up to Aberdeen. In Ireland, it has a wide distribution, but
Kane states that, except in the Belfast district, it is decidedly scarce in
the country.
