Raspberry clearwing moth

Pennisetia hylaeiformis can reach a wingspan of 22–32 mm. These moths have brown forewings characterized by a narrow transparent wedge shaped area and by a small three-cell outer window. The veins M3 and Cu1 of the hind wings are long stalked. The thorax is black, with a yellow collar and two yellow stripes on mesonotum. In males the abdomen shows four yellow bands of the same width on seg IV to VII, while females have three bands only (on seg IV to VI), with an orange-brown tail. Antennae are cristate and double-crescent-like shaped in males, while in females they are setaceous. The caterpillars are whitish and have a black head.

This species can be found in most of North and Central Europe. It is also present in Caucasus, Transcaspia, Siberia, Manchuria and Japan.
