Common Grey
<em>Scoparia ambigualis</em>, commonly known as the common grey, is a small moth belonging to the genus Scoparia within the family Crambidae. This species inhabits virtually all terrestrial and freshwater habitats and has a documented range across Belgium, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in northwestern and Scandinavian Europe. Common grey is assessed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. The species is typically encountered in a variety of open and semi-open habitats including heathland, grassland, and woodland edges, where its cryptically patterned grey and white forewings provide effective camouflage at rest. Adults are typically nocturnal and are attracted to light. Biological traits of this species remain poorly documented in the scientific literature.
