The Witch Hazel Dagger Moth (Acronicta hamamelis) is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in Canada (Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario) and parts of the United States, including Maryland. The larvae feed on witch hazel.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.
