$Craniophora ligustri, the coronet, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Michael Denis and Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. It is found in Europe, through the Palearctic to Japan.\nDescription:\nThe wingspan is 30–35 mm. Its forewings are purplish fuscous, more or less greenish tinged, with a paler patch beyond the cell; prothorax conspicuously whitish. The white patch distal to the reniform appears to resemble a crown, hence the name coronet. Wing coloration and size is dependent on the environmental factor in which they grow as well as it is expected to be shown through physical differences and morphology.\nBiology:\nThe moth flies from April to September depending on the location. The caterpillars feed on Fraxinus excelsior, common lilac and Ligustrum vulgare.\nDistribution:\nIt is found from western and central Europe to the Russian Far East, northern China, Japan and Korea. In the north, the range extends to southern Scandinavia, the Baltic States and central Russia (approximately north to Saint Petersburg) as well as Ukraine. However, on the Iberian Peninsula, the species is limited to the north. In the eastern Mediterranean, it reaches northern Greece with smaller isolated occurrence in central Greece and the Peloponnese. The distribution area also includes Israel, Asia Minor and the Caucasus. It occurs in Cyprus (source Wikipedia).\n\nThe Picture is made during a light catch in the South of Limburg half way of August 2021. This is a common Species in the Netherlands.$

$Cossus cossus, the goat moth, is a moth of the family Cossidae. It is found in Northern Africa, Asia and Europe.\nBiology:\nThis is a large heavy moth with a wingspan of 68–96 mm. The wings are greyish brown and marked with fine dark cross lines. The moth flies from April to August depending on the location. \nThe caterpillars have a red/purple stripe across the back and a black head. They reach a length of 9–10 cm. The caterpillars feed in the trunks and branches of a wide variety of trees (see list below), taking three to five years to mature. The caterpillar holes can be found low on the stem (maximum 1.0–1.5 m above the ground). When ready to pupate the caterpillar leaves the tree to find a suitable spot. \nThe species prefer humid environments. Both the larva and moth have a smell reminiscent of goat, hence its name.\nFood plants:\nThere are several foodplants recorded, but it has a preference for Populus, Quercus and Salix (source Wikipedia).\n\nThis Picture is made during a Long Weekend in the South of Belgium in June 2019.$
