About Nola confusalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1847)
Nola confusalis (Herrich-Schäffer, 1847), commonly called the least black arches, is a moth species belonging to the family Nolidae. This species has a distribution that covers most of Europe, extending eastward through eastern Asia to Japan. The wingspan of adult Nola confusalis ranges from 16 to 18 mm. In western Europe, adult moths are active between mid April and mid June, and they produce only one generation per year. The larvae feed primarily on a wide range of deciduous trees and bushes; recorded host plants include Tilia species (commonly known as lime) and the evergreen oak Quercus ilex. Larvae of this species can be found from June to August.
