Common NameSpotted Clover Moth SeasonalityThe Alberta record is for an adult on the wing in July. IdentificationA medium to small (3.1-3.2 cm wingspan) dirty white moth with a "busy" overlaid brown pattern. The forewing costa, subterminal and terminal areas brown, with large brown orbicular, reniform and claviform spots. The veins are faintly marked with paler scales, giving it a streaky appearance. The hindwing has a prominent discal mark, a thin brown postmedian band followed by a wider brown median band containing two large pale spots, faintly divided into several smaller spots by the dark scales of the veins. Unlikely to be mistaken for any other Alberta Flower Moths.
