This is a very variable species with the forewings ranging from pale buff through to almost black. The paler forms have three dark-bordered stigmata on each forewing. The main distinguishing feature from other Agrotis species is the very pale hindwings, pure white in the males, pearly grey in the females. The wingspan is 32-42 mm. Two broods are produced each year, the adults flying in May and June and again in August and September. The species flies at night and is attracted to light and nectar-rich flowers. 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...

The grey larva, sometimes tinged with purple, feeds on the roots and lower stems of a range of plants and can be a serious pest of root vegetables and cereals. The species overwinters as a larva. A larva (Latin; plural larvae) is a juvenile form of animal with indirect development, undergoing metamorphosis (for example, insects or amphibians). ... Root vegetables are underground plant parts (including tubers, tuberous roots, taproots, rhizomes, corms, bulbs, and enlarged hypocotyls) used as vegetables. ... Cereal crops are mostly grasses cultivated for their edible seeds (actually a fruit called a caryopsis). ...
