Euxoa olivalis

Euxoa olivalis is a species of cutworm moth in the family Noctuidae, described by Grote in 1879. It belongs to a genus of moths whose larvae are known as cutworms, soil-dwelling caterpillars that feed on plant stems at or below ground level. The species is documented from North America, with specific records from Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada. As a member of the Euxoa genus, it shares the general life history pattern of overwintering as larvae and completing development in spring, though species-specific details for E. olivalis remain poorly documented in published literature.
