Lophocampa maculata, the Yellow-spotted tussock moth, mottled tiger or spotted halisidota, is a moth of the family Erebidae and the tribe Arctiini, the tiger moths.

It is found across Canada, the western parts of the United States, south in the Appalachians to South Carolina and Kentucky.

The larvae go through five instars; the final instar is black at the ends, with a yellow or orange middle section, which in some populations has black spots.

[2] The larvae feed on the leaves of some poplars, willows, alders, basswoods, birches, maples, and oaks.

According to Wiktionary, a tussock is a tuft or clump of green grass or similar verdure, forming a small hillock.
