Common Yellow Conch
Fairly common throughout most of Britain.
The Larvae feeds on Thistles.
The pale yellow forewing has the costa moderately arched.
The base of the costa, and a streak from the disc to beyond the middle of the tornus are ferruginous-fuscous.
Sometimes there are several irregular variable ferruginous marks towards the margins.
The hindwings are rather dark grey.
The Moth flies from June to August, from dusk.
