No, not exactly umbratica. In this instance there is no characteristic umbratica yellowish area in the middle of the front wing: http://insectamo.ru/hete/98-hete/noctuidae/1311-cucullia-umbratica.
It Cucullia lucifuga (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775)! But to endure in this case it is necessary in certain inaccurate.Why is imprecisely defined? Yes, simply because we do not know the date of capture, and even a possible option (if the specimens photographed in the early spring, for example, in the first half of May), it is - lactucae. But the option is again unlikely, because in this case, this is more like a butterfly lucifuga.The sign by which to distinguish species and lactucae lucifuga recently demonstrated Oleg Baking (barko) the forum topic definition butterflies (page 440, Message URL # 21982).
The result - you need to carry in Cucullia lucifuga (Denis & Schiffermuller, 1775) (but so far ill-defined). Do not leave it as Lacanobia suasa, in the end ???
