Endromis versicolora, the Kentish glory, is a moth of the family Endromidae. It is found in the Palaearctic region. The wingspan is 50–70 mm. The adults fly from March to May.Females, are much larger and paler than the males, and fly only at night in order to lay eggs. Males, which fly both by night and day, can detect female pheromones from a distance up to 2 km. Yellow at first, then purplish-brown eggs are laid in 2–3 "rows" around thin branch of birch. After 10–14 days little black caterpillars hatch. \n* Male dorsal side MHNT \n* Male ventral side MHNT \n* Female ventral side MHNT \n*
