Phlogophora wollastoni (Bethune-Baker, 1891)

Host plants:
The larvae live primarily on ferns, but are altogether quite polyphagous in the herb layer.

Habitat:
Phlogophora wollastoni inhabits especially humid laurel and heath woodlands and neighbouring areas.

Life cycle:
The adults are probably on the wing year-round. But there should be a maximum in autumn and an other in spring. The larvae live in the herb layer, preferably at fern-rich places. I tapped young to half-grown larvae from small ferns in March 2013.

Remarks:
Phlogophora wollastoni is endemic to Madeira (Portugal).
