Barred Sallow Tiliacea aurago

73.18 BF2272

([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775)

Wingspan 27-32 mm.

Most commonly distributed in the south and south-east of England, this attractive species occurs locally as far north as northern England.

It inhabits wooded valleys, downland and southern heaths, and flies in September and October.

The larvae feed on beech (Fagus) or field maple (Acer campestre), at first on the buds and subsequently on the flowers and leaves.
