The pale-winged midget (Elaphria festivoides) is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. It is found across southern Canada and the northern United States.

Elaphria alapallida was split from Elaphria festivoides by Pogue and Sullivan in 2003. The species is very similar to the Festive Midget E. festivoides, and was not recognized as a distinct species until 2003. It is best distinguished by genital differences and geographic range.

The wingspan is 24–28 mm. Adults are on wing from May to July. There is one generation per year.

Larvae of E. festivoides have been reared on Acer negundo . The hostplant preferences of E. alapallida may be similar.

A mini sprint is an American type of open-wheel racing vehicle. Mini sprint cars resemble the shape of a full-size sprint car and the size of a midget car. Although often used liberally to describe several different types of motorcycle-powered open-wheel racing cars, the term mini sprint actually applies to cars that have an upright-style chassis, a center-mounted 4-cylinder motorcycle engine with a displacement between 750 and 1200cc, and dimensions and appearance that are similar to today's midget. Mini sprints are chain driven and use 13-inch (33 cm) wheels and tires.
