Guides
Apamea perpensa
Apamea perpensa is a noctuid moth described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1881. It belongs to the cutworm moth genus Apamea, a group known for being taxonomically challenging due to high intraspecific variation and overlapping morphological traits among species. The species occurs in North America. Like other members of the Apamea genus, it is likely nocturnal and attracted to light sources, though specific behavioral and ecological details remain poorly documented.
Basilodes chrysopis
Gilded Seedcropper
Basilodes chrysopis is a moth in the family Noctuidae, commonly known as the Gilded Seedcropper. First described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1881, this species is distributed across North America. It belongs to the subfamily Stiriinae within the owlet moth family. The species has been documented in 809 iNaturalist observations.
Compacta capitalis
Ornate Compacta Moth
Compacta capitalis is a species of crambid moth described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1881. It occurs across the eastern and central United States, with records spanning from Maryland south to Florida and westward to Texas, with possible occurrence in Colorado and north to Illinois. Adults are active during the warmer months, with flight records from May through August. The species is characterized by distinctive dark apical blotches on both forewings and hindwings.
Hada sutrina
Sutrina Moth
Hada sutrina is a species of cutworm or dart moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by Grote in 1881. It occurs across North America, with documented records from the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The species is assigned MONA/Hodges number 10324, a standard identifier used in North American moth classification. As a member of the subfamily Noctuinae, it belongs to a diverse group of primarily nocturnal moths whose larvae are commonly known as cutworms.
Hexorthodes agrotiformis
Hexorthodes agrotiformis is a species of noctuid moth described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1881. The species belongs to a small genus of moths distributed in North America. It is one of approximately 18 species in the genus Hexorthodes, which are generally associated with grassland and prairie habitats. The specific epithet "agrotiformis" references its resemblance to moths in the genus Agrotis.
Schinia honesta
Black-Spotted Gem
Schinia honesta, commonly known as the black-spotted gem, is a small noctuid moth first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1881. It is one of approximately 123 species in the genus Schinia found in North America north of Mexico. The species is characterized by its relatively small size, with a wingspan of about 25–26 mm. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with specific host plants for larval development, though detailed life history information remains limited.
Spragueia funeralis
Somber Spragueia
Spragueia funeralis is a species of bird dropping moth in the family Noctuidae, first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1881. The species is distributed across North America. It is commonly known as the Somber Spragueia. As a member of the bird dropping moth group, it likely exhibits cryptic coloration resembling avian feces, a defensive adaptation common in this ecological guild.
Tricholita bisulca
Tricholita bisulca is a species of noctuid moth described by Grote in 1881. It belongs to the tribe Eriopygini within the subfamily Noctuinae. The species is known from North America, though specific details about its biology remain poorly documented. It is one of approximately 15 species in the genus Tricholita, a group of medium-sized noctuid moths whose members are often challenging to distinguish without close examination.
Triocnemis
Triocnemis is a monotypic genus of noctuid moths established by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1881. The genus contains a single species, Triocnemis saporis, which occurs in western North America. Little is known of its biology or ecology beyond basic distributional records.
