Rusty Looper
Autographa rubidus, commonly known as the Rusty Looper, is a noctuid moth species native to North America. The species ranges from Newfoundland west across southern Canada to southeastern British Columbia, extending south to Maine and Minnesota. As a member of the Plusiinae subfamily, it shares the characteristic looper caterpillar morphology with related species. The specific epithet "rubidus" refers to a reddish or rusty coloration, though detailed adult morphology remains poorly documented in available sources.
