The Pine Beauty (Panolis flammea) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is a common species of pine woods in Europe. The forewings are typically rich orange brown, but sometimes are dark grey, with two large pale stigmata and fine streaks along the termen. The hindwings are brown or blackish. The wingspan is 32-40 mm. This moth flies at night from March to May and is attracted to light and sallow blossom. The larva, green and yellow with black and white lines, feeds mainly on pine, but sometimes on other trees (see list below), and can be a serious pest in forests. The species overwinters as a pupa.
