Apoda y-inversum
They are called slug moths because their caterpillars bear a distinct resemblance to slugs. The wingspan is 21–30 mm. Adults are on wing from May to August. The larvae feed on the leaves of beech, hickory, ironwood, and oak.
Spotted in the backyard. Attracted to lights. Mixed woods nearby.
