Lacinipolia renigera (kidney-spotted minor or bristly cutworm) is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae.
Adults of L. reginera rest with their hindwings tucked underneath their forewings, giving them an arrowhead-like or tented shape.
Their wingspan is 21–30 mm, significantly smaller than most other members of the Noctuidae family.
[1][2] It is endemic to most of North America with the exception of Yukon and Alaska, though it appears to be absent from the Gulf coastal plain and sparse in the western U.S.[3] The larvae feed on a wide variety of herbaceous plants such as the Chicory, Dandelions, Clovers and more.
They are also considered a pest species of several agricultural crops, including Cabbage, Lettuce and Corn.
