Lunar Yellow Underwing
Noctua orbona
Species account (old)
In the north country, this is an insect of moorland and sandy stretches of the coastline. Even in Robson's time it was regarded as 'Decidedly a rare insect in [this county], though it is probably passed over as orbona (sensu Staint., i.e. comes)'. More recent experience suggests that the reverse is the case, i.e. that specimens of comes with a very dark brown, more or less sharply-defined mark on the costa may be misidentified as orbona. [...]
