Azeta rhodogaster is a species of moth in the Erebidae family. A standout feature of this species is the reddish or pinkish coloration of the hindwings, which is likely referenced in the species name "rhodogaster" (Greek for "red belly"). When disturbed, they may display their brightly colored hindwings to startle predators, a behavior common among moths with hidden vivid coloration.
