Description

Paramesia gnomana has a wingspan of about 16–20 millimetres (0.63–0.79 in).[3] It is similar to Clepsis spectrana, but it is paler.[3]

These moths fly from June to August. Caterpillars are polyphagous, feeding from May to June on a wide range of herbaceous plants, shrubs and trees,[3] especially on bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), Stachys species, Iris species, plantain (Plantago species), and dandelion (Taraxacum species).[4]

Distribution and habitat

This species is present in most of Europe and in the Near East.[5][3] It prefers dry grassland habitats.

gollark: I think stuff kind of works if you just let nodes set their own prices (except you are still incentivized to jam people randomly, for arbitrage or otherwise), but that's just the regular internet.
gollark: (with you as C, and with B unable to reach A directly now)
gollark: So instead of the initial `internet ←→ A ←→ B`, `internet ←→ A ←→ C ←→ B`.
gollark: I think you could make that work.
gollark: Also, I meant sticking your node between A and B and just using A's connection for backhaul for B, not providing your own connection.
