The Rauten-Rindenspanner ( Peribatodes rhomboidaria ), often also called Rhombenspanner , is a butterfly ( moth ) from the Spanner family (Geometridae).
features
The moths reach a wingspan of 32 to 40 millimeters and have gray and brownish piebald wings. On the forewings they have two dark transverse lines that are unevenly thick and also partially interrupted. These continue on the hind wings, but are a little less pronounced there. The males have strongly feathered antennae .
The caterpillars are up to 40 mm long and are gray to red-brown in color. The dark side lines are double and the rather light spot drawings can form a diamond pattern on the back.
Occurrence
The moths are widespread across Europe and live in a wide variety of habitats, such as B. on forest edges and in parks, but also in more open terrain. The abundance of the species varies greatly from year to year and area.

Way of life
Flight and caterpillar times
The Rauten-Rindenspanner forms a generation a year that flies from the end of July to the end of August. Two generations are seldom formed in climatically favored areas. The caterpillars can be found in August. Usually these overwinter, but rarely also the pupa .
Food of the caterpillars
The caterpillars feed on various types of deciduous trees , shrubs and low plants, e.g. B. of hawthorn ( Crataegus spec.), Sloe ( Prunus spinosa ), lilac ( Syringa ) and ivy ( Hedera spec.).
