Curved-line Owlet

Moist deciduous forests, woodlands, and wet meadows

Larvae typically feed on dead or decaying leaves; adults may feed on flower nectar or moisture.

Nocturnal; often attracted to artificial lights at night. Typical flight period occurs from May through September.

Harmless to humans; play a role in the ecosystem as decomposers (in the larval stage) and as a food source for bats and birds.
