Abundance Notes
"Common" rating for north end of Park, likely uncommon to rare elsewhere in CRMO.
This species is common to abundant in hardwood forests and riparian zones throughout much of North America. In the Pacific Northwest, it appears to be mostly confined to riparian zones along creeks and rivers at low elevations east of the Cascades. Acronicta americana has been most commonly found in and near the Snake River Plain in southern Idaho and southeastern Oregon (PNWM 2016)
