Schinia mortua
Schinia mortua is a small noctuid moth found across the western half of North America. Adults have a wingspan of 23–27 mm. The species is associated with host plants in the Asteraceae family, specifically Grindelia and Haplopappus, on which the larvae feed. Like many Schinia species, adults are likely flower-visiting and may be active during daylight hours.
