Mansur has recently sent me a few
moths he has caught near Riyadh and managed to identify. One such moth was Heliothis nubigera. The english name for this is the
Eastern Bordered Straw a species of moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in all kind of arid areas in the
Palaearctic. The wingspan is 35–40 mm with adults on wing year round. There are
probably two generations per year.
