Olceclostera angelica, the angel moth, is a small to medium-sized moth in the family Apatelodidae. First described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1864, it occurs across eastern North America from Quebec and Maine south to Florida, west to Texas, and north to Wisconsin and Ontario. Adults are active from May through September in deciduous forest habitats. The larval stage feeds specifically on ash (Fraxinus) and lilac (Syringa) leaves.
