Glena cognataria, the blueberry gray moth, is a moth native to North America. It ranges from Florida to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Its larvae are hosted on blueberry.[1][2] The habitat consists of bogs and pine barrens. It is listed as a species of special concern and believed extirpated in the US state of Connecticut.[3]

The length of the forewings is about 13–15 mm.

The larvae have been recorded feeding on blueberry, as well as many hardwood species including oak, maple, cherry, willow and poplar.[4]
