About Ochropleura implecta Lafontaine, 1998
Ochropleura implecta is a moth species belonging to the family Noctuidae. This species was formally described in 1998 by Don Lafontaine, who separated it from the closely similar Ochropleura plecta, a related species found in Europe and Asia. Ochropleura implecta ranges across North America, with a distribution that extends from Newfoundland in the east to South Carolina in the southeast, westward to Arizona, and northward to British Columbia. The wingspan of adult Ochropleura implecta measures between 25 and 32 millimetres, which is equivalent to 0.98 to 1.26 inches. Adults of this species can be observed in flight from April through September, and the species produces two generations each year. The larvae of Ochropleura implecta feed on a variety of host plants, including beet, clover, chicory, and willow.
