Kentish glory — size comparison — facts and sources
The Kentish glory has brown wings with contrasting pale areas and dark lines. It inhabits wooded areas containing birches and other deciduous trees that may supply food for caterpillars.
Adults do not feed. The female is larger on average than the male. Adult males may fly by day, while females are active mainly at night.
After mating the female lays eggs, and young caterpillars initially feed together. Later they disperse and use leaves individually. Birch is particularly important, but the food-plant list is not limited to one tree genus. Pupation follows the larval period, and the pupa survives the winter.
