The Frosted orange moth (Gortyna flavago) is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in Europe, Armenia, Syria and East through the Palearctic to West Siberia. Also in Algeria.. The Frosted Orange is a nightflying species whose orange and brown speckled wings allow for perfect camouflage against autumn leaves in the daytime. It is attracted to light and does not come to flowers, and its caterpillars inhabit the root-stems of the species' foodplants.
