feed on Bindweeds and occasionally Morning Glory. Very frequent in
garden light traps. Most references state this moth to be bivoltine,
but I have also seen moths in December, specifically when I brought
living Christmas tree into the house on 24th December 2015, with three
adults emerging from the foliage the next morning. This seems to indicate
an over-wintering phase
