Description

The wingspan is about 15 mm. Adults are on wing from June to September, possibly in two generations.[2] The larvae feed on the shoots and flowers of goosefoots (Chenopodium species) and orache (Atriplex species) in a web.

Distribution

It is found in most of Europe (except Iceland, Ireland, and part of the Balkan Peninsula and Ukraine), east into Russia and Iran (from Golestan to Farsi). It is an introduced species in the north-eastern Nearctic region.[3][4]

gollark: Stuxnet wasn't done remotely. They chained together a ridiculous number of zero days to attack the computers the centrifuges were physically connected to and the PLCs.
gollark: It might be fun to use it to generate *maximally* right/left-wing text.
gollark: I would assume that would be a fairly easy machine learning classifier thingy, at least if you had enough text of known wingness to train it on.
gollark: I'm sure *someone* will end up buying it anyway.
gollark: They might mean Stellaris? It definitely has options for enslaving species and such.
