Jan, this shot is taken at Russian Far East. The species' looks are different there.

Does not look like the H. petasites I know from Denmark at all...

Well Asian websites describe this as an individual species amurensis) East is a delicate matter :) Far East as well :)

Also would like to add that many sources (for one eol.org and boldsystems.org) describe Hydraecia amurensis as an individual species different from H. petasitis. Here are all three of them http://bioinfo.lowtem.hokudai.ac.jp/db/modules/zukan/index.php?action=node&node_id=1703&

There are three species in Primorye, H. mongoliensis (lighter and more yellow), H. ultima (stripes are darker) and this ssp. petasitis http://catocala.narod.ru/noc231.html

Anything confusing you, Alexandr?

Isn't there some another Hydraecia?
