Originally only in southwest #Germany, now also in #Berlin and around my house and inside my living room. The #hoary #footman #Eilema #caniola (#Erebidae, #Lepidoptera) is a #moth that is particularly #thermophilic. Caterpillars feed mainly on #lichens.
The gradual #spread of the moth within Germany is partly well documented. In 2014 it was detected in Lower #Saxony. From 2017 in Berlin--Staaken.
