• Agrotis arenarius

  Sable Island Cutworm Moth

  Agrotis arenarius is a noctuid moth endemic to Sable Island, Nova Scotia, Canada. First described by Neil in 1983, this species is known from only a handful of observations. Its restricted distribution to a single small island makes it one of the most geographically limited Agrotis species. The specific epithet "arenarius" refers to the sandy habitat of its island home.
