Imago Habitus and Differences from alike species

  • Переднее крыло от 1,5 до 2 см длины, необычные для пядениц яркие, красивые задние крылья, а судя по пятну на передних крыльях можно предположить промежуточное положение пядениц рода Archiearis между собственно пяденицами и совками. В отличие от схожего вида — Archiearis notha, у A. Parthenias обычно имеются черные и белесые точки на передних крыльях, а у самцов усики не двухгребенчатые, а нитевидные. [85].

General info about Imago

Imago lifespan

  • С начала марта до конца апреля. [85].

General info about Larva

  • Гусеницы зеленые с тонкими желтыми полосами, 3 передние пары ног неплохо развиты, что также добавляет сходства этому виду с совками. [85].

Larva food plants / other food objects

  • Betula, Sorbus aucuparia. [28].
  • Только молодые и нежные березовые листья. [85].

Larva lifespan

  • Гусеницы обыкновенной весенницы живут с мая до июля. [85].
