Eublemma minima
everlasting bud moth
Eublemma minima, the everlasting bud moth, is a small moth species in the family Erebidae, first described by Achille Guenée in 1852. The species has an unusually broad geographic distribution spanning Africa (Kenya, Madagascar, South Africa, Yemen) and the Americas (United States, Brazil, Argentina, Caribbean, Paraguay), suggesting either natural dispersal capabilities or human-mediated introduction to the Western Hemisphere. The specific epithet 'minima' refers to its small size relative to congeners.
