The Eulepidotis rectimargo moth is a white or pale yellow moth from the family Erebidae, notable for its striking black markings on the wings. It has bold, dark, vertical bands on its wings that give the appearance of a straight edge. The pattern of lines can act as a form of disruptive camouflage, breaking up the moth's natural shape and making it harder for predators to identify as prey. The arrangement of its markings can create an illusion that its head is at the rear of its body, a defence mechanism that may deceive predators.
