Callistege mi (Clerck, 1759)

Host plants:
The larvae are oligophagous on Fabaceae, such as Lotus, Onobrychis or Hippocrepis.

Habitat:
Callistege mi inhabits grasslands, extensive meadows, edges, pastures and other sunny and rather dry sites.

Life cycle:
The pupa hibernates. Moths fly in May and June, especially during the day. They can easily be flushed and sit a few meters further back to the vegetation. I found the caterpillar sporadically in grasslands from July to August.

Remarks:
Callistege mi is widespread in Europe.
