binomial_authority = Linnaeus, 1758The Bright-line Brown-eye ("Lacanobia oleracea") is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is a common species throughout Europe.

This species' common name is usefully descriptive: The forewings are dark reddish-brown marked with a prominent light orange-brown stigma and a bright white subterminal line. The hindwings are grey, darker towards the termen. The wingspan is 34-44 mm. They are attracted to light, sugar and nectar-rich flowers.

The larva is green or brown with black and yellow stripes down the side. It feeds on a wide range of plants and is occasionally a pest of cultivated tomatoes. The species overwinters as a pupa.

Flight from latter half of June to July. Occasional second generation from end of August to first half of September. [ [http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/insecta/lepidoptera/ditrysia/noctuoidea/noctuidae/hadeninae/lacanobia/index.html Lacanobia reference] ] .
