Description
Venacular Name: Common Rose Bell : Doubleday's Notocelia Moth
Wingspan: 15-20mm
Worldwide Distribution: Europe : Russia : Central Asia : China : Mongolia : Korea : Japan : Iran
UK Distribution: England & Wales - common and well distributed : Scotland - scarce
UK Conservation Status -
Habitat: Calcareous grassland : Gardens : Parks : Woodland : Hedgerows
Similar Species -
Overwinters as: Ovum
Observations: This moth is very similar to other Notocelia genera,especially N.roborana and N.trimaculana where it is larger than the latter with broader wings and a more curved costa and in the former the dark area at the base is less dark and the termen is less straight and less sharply defined.
The species name of this moth clearly reflects the fact that the larva of this moth only feed on members of the Rosa genera, both in the wild and cultivated varieties.
The moth is attracted to light and as such is found at the moth trap in small numbers.
