Stenoptilia bipunctidactyla, also known as the twin-spot plume is a moth of the Pterophoroidea family found in North Africa, Asia and Europe.
[2] The moths fly from dusk, in two overlapping generations from March to October, depending on location.
Pterophoridae [4] The larvae feed on devil's-bit scabious (Succisa pratensis), common toadflax (Linaria vulgaris), weasel's snout (Misopates orontium), small scabious (Scabiosa columbaria) and widow flower (Knautia species).
There are differences in the early and intermediate larval instars which may be two different species or the variation may be due to diet, season or normal variation within the species.
[2] The twin-spot plume is found in Europe, Asia Minor, Syria, North Africa and Iran.
