https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthophila_fabriciana This species can be found in most of Europe, China, Himalaya, Mongolia, many parts of Asia. The moth flies in two generation per year from May to October depending on the location and are active during the day. They can occur wherever stinging nettles occur.
Anthophila fabriciana has a wingspan of 10–15 mm. The forewings are a patchwork of dark brownish fuscous marbled with pale grey, with yellowish white costal spot and post-median fascia. The abdomen shows large pale bands. Larvae are up to 12 mm long, pale creamy-green or greenish-white with dark spots on each segment. They live in an individual, conspicuous web on the leaf of the host plant, usually on the upper surface, with the edges of the leaf drawn together. The pupa is spun in or near the larval web, and is covered in a white, dense, spindle-shaped cocoon, which is circa 8–9 mm long.
