Description
H. ocularis is recognizable by a pale gray or brownish gray forewing with a distinctive orbicular spot: pale and rounded with a black pupil or bullseye (hence the species name ocularis).[1] The length of the forewings is 14–16 mm. The subterminal line, near the distal end of the forewing, is irregular. Males and females are similar in size, color, and maculation.[2]
Ecology and behavior
