Description
In adults, Dysstroma hersiliata is mostly gray with black and white pattering across the wings that varies between individuals. Its most distinctive feature is a solid orange bar going across the upper-middle portion of the wing. It has a pale discal spot on its hindwing, and its wingspan 25-29mm. It has a very short palpi, and very limited to no sexual dimorphism. Larvae of Dysstroma hersiliata are lime green with two off-white stripes near its back end. Mature larvae are around 2 cm. The cocoon is open and net-like with the pupa visible within.
Range & habitat
Dysstroma hersiliata is found in southern Canada and the northern parts United States from the Pacific to the Atlantic, although more commonly in the eastern half of both.
