The hindwings are grey, usually much darker than in Heart and Dart and Turnip Moth. The wingspan is 35-40 mm. The moth flies at night in June and July and is attracted to light and sugar. The word stigma (plural stigmata) has more than one possible meaning: a mark such as that made with a branding iron in botany, stigma can mean a part of the female part of a flower; that part of a pistil which has no epidermis, and is fitted to receive the...
