White-Speck
Mythimna unipuncta
The adult white-speck moth is a nocturnal moth of grasslands, fields, and disturbed open habitats, often visiting flowers and sometimes coming to lights. It feeds on nectar with its proboscis and uses flight to disperse between feeding and egg-laying sites. The small pale spot on each forewing gives the species its common name. Adults are capable of long-distance movement, which helps the species appear suddenly in new regions during warm seasons.
