Spodoptera albula (unbarred spodoptera moth or gray-streaked armyworm moth) is a moth of the family Noctuidae found from the southern United States, south to South America.[2]
The wingspan is 33–35 mm. The forewings are brownish-grey with dark streaks along the veins. There is a thin black basal dash and a reniform spot in the form of a small dark dot. The hindwings are white with pale grey shading and a dotted black terminal line. Adults are on wing in the final half of the year, peaking in November.
The larvae feed on Amaranthus species.
