Common armyworm moth

Mythimna unipuncta

Description:

It is a light brown moth that has some dark red patterns on the wings.When it is flying it looks like a sphinx or hawk moth because of how fast it flies, but sphinx moths do not land in the grass they hover around flowers.The hindwings have grey and white that is partially transparent.Many people consider them as pests but I consider them as amazing creatures.

Habitat:

They fly and feed around low growng weeds and grasses.Very adbundent around the spring and late winter time.They also like to fly at lights at the night and can be seen flying if you are lawnmowing, because they like to sit on the grass and weeds.

Notes:

They are very adbundent during the spring and late winter.Seen during the day and at night.
