Nomophila noctuella, the rush veneer, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae.

Distribution[edit]

This species has a nearly cosmopolitan distribution (Europe, North Africa, Central Asia, Pakistan, North America).[2][3]InEurope, it is a migratory species, travelling from southern Europe and North Africa to Northern Europe.[4]

Description[edit]

Nomophila noctuella

The wingspan is 26–32 mm. Forewings are very elongated and narrow.[5] The basic color of the forewings is usually brown, with darker wide eight-shaped and reniform markings in the discal and postdiscal areas.[4] Some dark brown spots are present close to the outer edge and to the apex. The hindwings are whitish with brown veins.[2]

The mature larvae are gray green and spotted. They can reach a length of 15–20 millimetres (0.59–0.79 in).[6]

Biology[edit]

These moths fly from May to September depending on the location.[5] They are attracted to light,[7] and in Europe they are migratory.[4] There are two to four generations per year.[6]

The larvae feed on Trifolium,[5] clover, Medicago, Polygonum aviculare,[7] wheat,[4] Vaccinium and various other grasses.[6] They pupate in a cocoon amongst the leaves of the host plants or on a stone. The pupa hibernates.[7]
