About Allagrapha aerea Hübner, 1803
Allagrapha aerea, commonly known as the unspotted looper moth or copper looper moth, is a moth species belonging to the family Noctuidae. Jacob Hübner first described this species in 1803. This moth is found in eastern North America, ranging from southern Ontario to the Florida Panhandle, and extending west to western Nebraska. The wingspan of Allagrapha aerea measures 28 to 42 mm. Adults are active from April through September; in southern parts of the range, activity can extend to October. This species produces two generations per year. Its larvae are thought to be general feeders on herbaceous plants. Feeding records confirm larvae have been found feeding on Urtica, Aster umbellatus, and soybeans.
