Smoky Tetanolita, Smoky Tetanolita Moth
Tetanolita mynesalis, known as the smoky tetanolita, is a small litter moth in the family Erebidae. First described by Francis Walker in 1859, it occurs in eastern North America with adults active from late spring through late autumn. The species is notable as a prey item of bolas spiders, which chemically mimic its female sex pheromones to attract males.
