Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Spinach (Eulithis mellinata) is a moth of the family Geometridae. It is found throughout the Palearctic region and the Near East though its distribution is rather local due to its specialized larval food plant. In the British Isles it is fairly common in England and Wales but much rarer in Scotland and Ireland. Its wingspan is 33-38 mm. The forewings are yellow marked with brown fascia and apical streak with brown chequering on the fringe. The hindwings are plain cream but are rarely seen as the species usually rests in a very distinctive and characteristic way with the forewings held out at 90° to the body with the hindwings hidden behind them.
