The Frosted orange moth (Gortyna flavago) is a widespread night-flying moth whose orange and brown speckled wings allow for perfect camouflage against autumn leaves. It is attracted to light and does not come to flowers, and its maggot-like caterpillars inhabit the root-stems of the species' foodplants. Its wingspan ranges from 3 to 4.3cm, and it flies between August and October. Northern variants tend to be slightly darker in colour.
