The Angle Shades moth Phlogophora meticulosa (Fr. Méticuleuse) is nocturnal, with red-brown and olive wings. The caterpillars are not very fussy and will eat a variety of low growing plants, from grass to dead nettles. The adult moths are migratory, and the species is found especially in vineyards.
