the dark-barred twin-spot carpet

Xanthorhoe ferrugata

Xanthorhoe.ferrugata.7149.jpg

 

Xanthorhoe ferrugata, the dark-barred twin-spot carpet, is a moth of the genus Xanthorhoe in the family Geometridae. It was first described by Carl Alexander Clerck in 1759 and has a Holarctic distribution.

 

Distribution

It is found in Europe and east to the Russian Far East, Siberia, Tibet and China, south to the Caucasus and Turkey. Also in North America (Alaska to Newfoundland and south to North Carolina and California).

Description

The name-typical form of ferrugata as figured by Clerck and well described by Linne, has the median band reddish or purplish, the distal area very weakly marked (except the costal patch and two dark spots between the radials) often almost entirely white or whitish. An aberration, ab. unidentaria Haw. is a very common and very interesting aberration which has been proved, by my very extensive breeding experiments and those of Dr. Draudt, to be an almost perfect Mendelian "recessive". It differs in having the median band black, not reddish. — ab. coarctata Prout has the median band greatly narrowed, only 1–2 mm. in width; the rest of the markings often in part obsolete. - bilbainensis Fuchs, from Bilbao, said to be a local race, is described as smaller, narrower-winged, the distal edge of the median band more distinctly biangulate. I doubt its validity. — stupida Alph., from Issyk-kul, Tibet, W. Central China, etc., is rather larger, with whiter hindwing otherwise similar to ab. unidentaria.

Biology

The larvae feed on species of Galium, Stellaria, Campanula and Cirsium.

Etusiivissä on leveä ruosteenruskea, toisinaan mustanruskea raita. Raidan etu- ja takapuolella on ohuita valkoisia juovia. Siiven takareunassa on ohut musta juova. Takasiivet ovat harmaan ruskeat himmeästi raidalliset. Nuori toukka on vihertävä, täysikasvuilla toukalla on ruskeankirjava selkäpuoli ja kellertävän ruskea vatsapuoli. Aikuisen perhosen siipien kärkiväli on 18-24 mm.

Elinympäristö ja elämäntavat

Ruostekenttämittari elää puutarhoissa ja puistoissa sekä valoisissa sekametsissä ja niityillä. Toukan ravintokasveja ovat monet ruohovartiset lajit. Perhonen lentää hämärissä ja tulee herkästi valolle. Talvehtii kotelona.
