Common White Wave
Cabera pusaria

(Linnaeus, 1758) 1955 / 70.277

General comments:
Widespread resident.

Both this species and Common Wave are frequent visitors to light traps, but it is interesting to note that the number of records of Common White wave in the database is more or less double that for Common Wave.
The flight data suggests a single protracted emergence rather than multiple generations?

Recorded in 38 (93%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2024.
