Dark Crimson Underwing
Catocala sponsa
This nocturnal moth inhabits mature deciduous woodland, where it rests on tree trunks during the day. Adults fly after dusk and may feed on tree sap, ripe fruit, or nectar. When disturbed, the moth can reveal its vivid crimson hindwings in a sudden display that startles predators.
