Catocala coniuncta
Catocala coniuncta is a circum-Mediterranean species of moth. Like other related species C. coniuncta has mottled brown fore-wings and crimson-red hind-wings with a black central line. The species differs from its European congeners in the shape of the post-median line on the fore-wing and the straighter black line on the hind-wings. The larvae feed on holm oak (Quercus ilex). The pictured moth was pinched by a bird, and missing a part of it's wing, and was spotted in Nea Demetrias, Volos city, Greece.
