Dark Brocade
Athetis gluteosa
This drab brown noctuid moth is active chiefly at night in farmland, grassland, gardens, and other open habitats. Adults fly readily after dusk, visiting flowers for nectar and seeking host plants on which to lay eggs. The dark, patterned forewings help it blend into bark, soil, and dried vegetation when resting by day.
