Scolecocampa liburna, the dead-wood borer, is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. The species is found from southern Wisconsin and Michigan to central New England south to Florida and Texas.
The wingspan is 35–43 mm. Adults are on wing from late May to late July and again in late August in southern Ohio. There seems to be one generation in the north.. There are more generations southward.
