The Lasionycta lagganata is a type of moth. It belongs to the Noctuidae family, which includes many kinds of owlet moths. This moth was first officially described by two scientists, William Barnes and Foster Hendrickson Benjamin, in 1924.
Where This Moth Lives
This special moth is only found in a few places in south-western Canada. You can find it in Banff and Waterton national parks, both in Alberta. It also lives in the Purcell Mountains, which are in south-eastern British Columbia.
What This Moth Does
The Lasionycta lagganata moth is active during the day, which is unusual for many moths. It likes to fly around on slopes made of fine shale rock. These slopes usually have only a few plants growing on them.
You can usually see adult moths flying from the middle of July to the middle of August.
