Umber Moth
Hypomecis umbrosaria
Adult umber moths inhabit deciduous forests, wooded suburbs, and forest margins across much of eastern North America. They fly mainly at night and rest by day against bark, where their mottled gray-brown wings provide strong camouflage. Adults seek moisture or nectar when available, and their wing pattern helps them disappear against lichen-covered trunks.
