Pale Tussock Moth
Calliteara pudibunda
Adult pale tussock moths inhabit deciduous woodland, gardens, and hedgerows across much of Europe. They fly mainly at night, with males actively searching for females while females often rest quietly on bark or foliage. Adults have reduced mouthparts and do not feed, relying on energy stored during the caterpillar stage.
