About Nerice bidentata Walker, 1855
Nerice bidentata, commonly known as the base-streaked prominent moth or double-toothed prominent moth, is a moth species belonging to the family Notodontidae. Its range extends from Nova Scotia south to Florida, west to Texas, and north to Saskatchewan. The wingspan of this species ranges from 30 to 40 mm. Adults are active on wing from April to September across most of its range; in the northern part of its range, there is one generation per year that flies from May to August. The larvae of Nerice bidentata feed on the leaves of Ulmus tree species. Larvae are chalky-green in color, and their appearance matches the leaf edges of their host plant. Larvae can be found from June to October.
