-Ammalo helops

The adults are mostly active at night, like many moths in the Erebidae family, and are often attracted to artificial lights. Ammalo helops is commonly found in Central and South America, where it inhabits tropical and subtropical forests. Its range may extend to areas with warm, humid climates, as these environments support the plants needed for its development.
