Catocala mira, the wonderful underwing, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1876.[1][2] It is found in North America from Manitoba through southern Ontario and Quebec through New Hampshire and Connecticut to Florida, west to Texas and north through Iowa and Illinois.

Its wingspan is 40–50 mm. Adults are on wing[definition needed] from July to August. There is probably one generation per year.

The larvae feed on Crataegus.
