Green Cloverworm Moth
Hypena scabra
The adult green cloverworm moth is a small nocturnal moth found in open fields, weedy margins, gardens, and agricultural landscapes across much of North America. It rests by day on vegetation or sheltered surfaces and flies at night to seek nectar and mates. Its mottled brown wings give strong camouflage against bark, dead leaves, and soil. Despite the caterpillar’s green name, the adult is usually brownish and belongs to a group of litter moths rather than the bright green moths players might expect.
