The Six-spotted Underwing (Catocala sexsignata) is a striking moth with mottled gray forewings that provide excellent camouflage against tree bark. When in flight, it reveals vivid orange hindwings marked with bold black bands, creating a dramatic contrast.
Native to North America, Catocala sexsignata is found across much of the United States, particularly in woodland habitats where its host trees grow.
Interesting Fact:
Like other underwing moths, this species uses a startle defense—remaining nearly invisible at rest, then flashing its bright hindwings when disturbed before quickly settling and blending back into its surroundings.
This specimen is preserved, fully spread and professionally mounted in a clear PE display frame, making it ready for immediate display. Collection data is included.
All specimens are ethically sourced, collected responsibly with a focus on sustainability and minimal impact on wild populations.
