Oak Eggar
Lasiocampa quercus
Adult oak eggar moths occur on heathland, moorland, woodland margins, and shrubby grassland. They are mainly active at dusk and at night, with males flying in search of females. The adults are short-lived and rely on energy stored during the caterpillar stage rather than feeding heavily as moths.
