Belted Tripudia Moth
Tripudia balteata is a noctuid moth species first described by Smith in 1900. It belongs to the subfamily Eustrotiinae, a group of small to medium-sized owlet moths. The species is distributed across North America and is known to adult collectors and researchers through iNaturalist observations and museum specimens. The specific epithet 'balteata' refers to a belted or banded appearance, likely describing characteristic wing patterning.
