Flight time
The nocturnal animals fly in a generation between the beginning of September and the end of October. The females overwinter and then fly in the following spring from mid-March to late May. The moths are attracted to light.
Way of life
The eggs are laid in May. Shortly afterwards the caterpillars hatch . They live polyphagous on deciduous trees and shrubs. Ebert. names the following plants:
- Trembling poplar ( Populus tremula )
- Sal willow ( Salix caprea )
- English oak ( Quercus robur )
- Grape oak ( Quercus petraea )
- Red oak ( Quercus rubra )
- Japanese quince ( Chaenomeles japonica )
- Rowanberry ( Sorbus aucuparia )
- Dog rose ( Rosa canina )
- Blue-green rose ( Rosa vosagiaca )
- Japanese cherry ( Prunus serrulata )
- Sycamore maple ( acer pseudoplatanus )
- Buckthorn ( Frangula alnus )
- Lime tree ( tilia )
The caterpillars are almost completely hairless and can be found on the feeding plants during the day. The time of caterpillar development extends from June to August. Followed by the pupal stage , which extends from August to September. The adults feed on the nectar of the ivy flowers from September to October . Hibernating moths have not yet been observed in caves, cellars or tree hollows, so it is assumed that they find shelter in the vegetation. The overwintered animals feed on the nectar of pussy willow in early spring .
distribution
The olive-green ribbon spider is widespread throughout Europe from central Fennoscandia to the Mediterranean and from the Iberian Peninsula to Asia Minor and the Caucasus .
