Pechipogo strigilata, the common fan-foot, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. It is found throughout Europe to the Urals then east across the Palearctic to Siberia, Amur, Ussuri, Korea and Japan.
The wingspan is 30–35 millimetres (1.2–1.4 in). Its forewings are ochreous dusted very densely with yellow brown; a slight dark cell mark; inner and outer lines brownish, more or less parallel, the inner curved in cell, the outer more widely beyond it; subterminal line oblique; hindwing with costal area pale, without markings; a faint outer line; subterminal dark, externally edged with pale.
The moth flies from late May until early July. Larvae are dull reddish ochreous, with dorsal, subdorsal, and lateral rows of dark freckled diamond-shaped marks; head fuscous. The larvae feed on dead, decaying leaves of oak, alder and birch.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Common Fan-Foot is recorded against all the insects logged in Nizhny Novgorod (5 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
