Trigonophora jodea (Herrich-Schäffer, [1850])

Host plants:
I recorded the larvae on small bushes of Prunus spinosa. They could be reared successfully with flower shoots of Prunus spinosa. They should, however, be polyphagous and prefer scrub (e.g. broom, Rosaceae etc.).

Habitat:
Trigonophora jodea inhabits dry and warm, usually grove-rich sites such as broom heaths, maquis, scrub, open woodland with rich understory etc.

Life cycle:
I recorded the larva still quite small in early April 2024 (Albarracin). they are usually mature in May. The young larvae stay on the host plant also during daytime. The pupa rests in a cocoon in the soil until late summer. The moths fly between September and November, according to the site.

Remarks:
Trigonophora jodea occurs in SW-Europe (Iberian Peninsula and southern half of France).
