The pale November moth (Epirrita christyi) is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Allen in 1906. It is a fairly common species in Western Europe including the British Isles.
Caterpillar
This species is almost identical to its relatives the November moth , the small autumnal moth and the autumnal moth and it is almost impossible to identify them without examination of the genitalia. See Townsend et al.[1] In general, although melanism occurs regularly in this species it is less prevalent than in the November moth.
The pale November moth flies at night from September to November[1] and is attracted to light.
The larva feeds on a variety of trees and shrubs (see list below). The species overwinters as an egg.
^The flight season refers to the British Isles. This may vary in other parts of the range.
