It is found from New Brunswick to Georgia, west to Oklahoma and Colorado, north to Saskatchewan. The wingspan is 35-41 mm. Adults are on wing from July to September depending on the location. The larvae feed on various grasses. A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described.
