Lacinipolia renigera (kidney-spotted minor or bristly cutworm) is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae. The moth flies from May to October depending on the location.
Adults of L. reginera rest with their hindwings tucked underneath their forewings, giving them an arrowhead-like or tented shape. The forewings are dark greyish-brown with three green spots, one of which is bordered with white. The hindwing is primarily whitish gray and fades into a darker gray color closer to the margin. Their wingspan is 21–30 mm, significantly smaller than most other members of the Noctuidae family. [1] [2]
It is endemic to most of North America with the exception of Yukon and Alaska, though it appears to be absent from the Gulf coastal plain and sparse in the western U.S. [3]
The larvae feed on a wide variety of herbaceous plants such as the Chicory, Dandelions, Clovers and more. They are also considered a pest species of several agricultural crops, including Cabbage, Lettuce and Corn. [4] [5]
