Svensson's copper underwing
Svensson's copper underwing ("Amphipyra berbera") is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Charles E. Rungs in 1949. It is distributed throughout Europe including Russia east to the Urals. This species has a wingspan of 47–56 mm, the female usually larger than the male. The forewings are brown, marked with pale fascia and a dark-centred pale stigma. The hindwings are bright copper-coloured. This species is very similar to the copper underwing ("Amphipyra pyramidea") but can usually be distinguished by the pattern on the underside of the hindwings: "A.  pyramidea" has a pale central area, contrasting strongly with darker margins; "A berbera" is much more uniformly coloured. See Townsend et al. "A. berbera" flies at night from July to September and is attracted to light and strongly to sugar. The larva feeds on a range of trees and shrubs (see list below). The species overwinters as an egg.
