Herpetogramma pertextalis, commonly known as the bold-feathered grass moth, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae. It was first described by Julius Lederer in 1863 and is found in North America.[1]
Description
[edit]Adult bold-feathered grass moths have a wingspan of about 33 mm and hold their wings open at rest, exposing both the forewings and hindwings. All four wings are whitish-tan and iridescent with a series of jagged lines. A dark brown line is present at the lowermost margin of all four wings[2][1].
Range and Habitat
[edit]This species is native to North America and is most commonly observed in open grassy areas such as fields, lawns and pastures.[3][4]
Ecology
[edit]H. pertextalis larvae feed on the leaves of Clethra alnifolia.[5]
