Anomis privata, the hibiscus-leaf caterpillar moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. It is found in China,[3] Taiwan and Japan, but has also been recorded from North America,[4] as most verified sightings [5] have been in the North Eastern United States. The larvae feed on the leaves of Hibiscus species,[6] while adult moths feed by sipping the syrup & juices from various wild berries such as Blackberry, Blueberry, Elderberry and Poke Berry.
