A moth, supposed to be a specimen of _Dasydia tenebraria_, Esper =

NETTED MOUNTAIN MOTH (_Fidonia carbonaria_).

The white wings of this species (Plate 141, Figs. 1 [male], 2 [female]) are
freckled with blackish and crossed by black stripes; sometimes the
freckling is so heavy that the white ground colour is much obscured and
only distinctly seen as edging to the cross stripes.

The caterpillar is dingy ochreous or whity brown marked with wavy darker
stripes. It feeds at night on birch and sallow; _Vaccinium_, _Erica_,
bearberry (_Arctostaphylos uva-ursi_) have also been mentioned as food
plants.

In April and May, the moth, which is to be found locally, high up on the
mountains of Scotland from Perthshire to Ross, is on the wing, and flies in
the sunshine. Writing of this species at Rannoch in May (about 17th), 1905,
Mr. E. A. Cockayne remarks that the moths began to fly about noon, {323}
when they appeared on all sides and were fairly active on the wing.

The distribution abroad is northern and Alpine, and the range extends to
North-east Siberia.
