Abraxas miranda (spotted moth) - Abraxas miranda
An insect of the Geometridae family of the Lepidoptera order. Wingspan is 3-4.5cm. The body is orange-yellow with a row of black markings on the abdomen. The wings are milky white with numerous gray markings. The base of the forewing is orange-yellow with a black-brown band on the outside and a large marking near the rear angle. It is distributed throughout Japan, the Korean peninsula, and northeastern China. In the Kanto to Kinki plains, adults appear twice a year, in spring and summer, flying weakly around food trees during the day and also arriving at lights. The larvae are black loopers with pale yellow bands and lines. They usually appear twice a year, but adults may emerge in autumn and the larvae overwinter at various developmental stages, sometimes pupating within the year.
