Cerapteryx
antler moth
Cerapteryx is a genus of noctuid moths established by Curtis in 1833, containing two recognized species: Cerapteryx graminis (the antler moth) and Cerapteryx megala. The genus is best known from the antler moth, which has been introduced to Newfoundland where it established populations in the 1960s and became a minor agricultural pest. The genus is native to Europe and has been recorded from Scandinavia and Denmark.
