Lesser Yellow Underwing
Noctua comes, the Lesser Yellow Underwing, is a common noctuid moth characterized by brown forewings and bright yellow hindwings with a black terminal band. Adults fly in a single generation from June to October. Larvae are cutworms that feed nocturnally close to the ground, damaging plant stems. The species is native to Britain and Ireland but has been introduced to North America where it can become a crop pest. Its genome of 540.7 Mb has been sequenced and assembled into 32 chromosomal pseudomolecules.
