It is found from Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, British Columbia, Alberta and Yukon in Canada, south to California. It is found in alpine habitats. The wingspan is about 33 mm. Adults are on wing from May to August in Canada.A moth is an insect closely related to the butterfly, both being of the order Lepidoptera. Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described.
