Host plants:
The larvae feed on Scutellaria cypria.
Habitat:
Orthostixis cinerea inhabits rocky area, bolders and earthy embankments e.g. in open pine woodland.
Life cycle:
The moths occur in several generations between spring and late autumn. I recorded many larvae in 700m in the Paphos Forest range in late February 2018. The pupation takes place suspended in a light webbing.
Remarks:
Orthostixis cinerea is endemic to Cyprus.
