Clouded Drab Orthosia incerta

Don't let the dull name fool you—the clouded drab has an impressively vast range spanning Europe and Asia. This adaptable moth stretches from Scandinavia through the Palearctic all the way to Russia's Far East and Japan. Even in harsh alpine environments, it ascends to 2,000 meters in the Alps, while most insects struggle. Few moths combine such geographic breadth with high-altitude tolerance.
