Wikipedia Abstract

The bordered pug (Eupithecia succenturiata) is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found across the Palearctic region and the Near East. This is an easily recognisable species, mainly due to the combination of colours and its large size relative to most other pugs (wingspan 21–24 mm).Typically this moth has whitish forewings with broad dark grey margins or suffused with brown margins.It is very variable, however, and can be nearly all white or nearly all grey.There is a small dark-coloured discal spot.The hindwings are similar in colour with a small discal spot.The abdomen is conspicuously patterned.It is grey, with a white base.
