• Hypenodes palustris

  Swampland Hypenodes

  Hypenodes palustris is a small moth in the family Erebidae, described by Ferguson in 1954. The species name 'palustris' (Latin for 'of the swamp') reflects its association with wetland habitats. It occurs across northern North America from Alaska through Canada to the northeastern and north-central United States. The species is one of relatively few in the genus Hypenodes, a group of small moths often associated with moist or marshy environments.
