Cotton moth (Notarcha derogata)
An insect of the family Pyralidae in the order Lepidoptera. Wingspan is 2.5-3cm. Both body and wings are pale yellow. There are 3-4 gray-brown transverse lines on the wings, and ring patterns on the transverse veins and within the middle chamber of the forewing. The outer edge is bordered with black-brown lines. It is widely distributed from almost all of Japan to neighboring continents, from the tropics and subtropics of Asia to Australia. It occurs 2-3 times a year, and adults often fly to lights. The larvae are considered pests that feed on the leaves of cotton, hibiscus, and rose of Sharon of the Malvaceae family, and paulownia of the Sterculiaceae and Scrophulariaceae families.
