Lithacodes gracea

Lithacodes gracea, known as the graceful slug moth, is a species of slug caterpillar moth described by Harrison G. Dyar in 1921. It belongs to the family Limacodidae, a group characterized by caterpillars with reduced prolegs that move with a slug-like gliding motion rather than crawling. The species is recognized by MONA/Hodges number 4664. Like other limacodids, it is presumed to have stinging or irritating setae in the larval stage, though specific documentation for this species is limited.
