The Lasionycta subdita is a type of moth that belongs to the Noctuidae family. This family is also known as the "owlet moths." These moths are often found in cooler, northern regions.

This specific moth is a subarctic species. This means it lives in areas just south of the Arctic Circle.

Where Does It Live?

The Lasionycta subdita moth can be found across a large part of North America. Its main home is in Labrador, Quebec, and Ontario in Canada. It also lives as far west as Churchill, Manitoba. Churchill is located on the western shore of the Hudson Bay.

There is also a separate group of these moths. This group lives far away from the main population. You can find them in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the United States.

When Can You See It?

Adult Lasionycta subdita moths are active during a specific time of year. You can usually see them flying around in July. This is when they are "on wing," meaning they have completed their development and are flying as adults.
