Xylena germana (American Brindle)

Synonyms: Lithomoia germana (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The American Brindle (Lithomoia germana) is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found from Alaska to Newfoundland south to Pennsylvania, Colorado and Oregon. The wingspan is about 40 mm. The forewings are light gray and streaked and shaded with shades of gray and brown. The hindwings are gray-beige and shaded darker towards the outer margin. At rest, adults mostly roll their wings around their body and thus take on the appearance of a small twig. Adults are on wing from mid-April to early May and again from mid-August to the beginning of October. It hibernates as an adult.
