2026 Editor's Note: Apantesis virgo (formerly classified as Grammia virgo before 2016 phylogenetic research merged Grammia with Apantesis) was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The page's geographic range of northern Atlantic States and Canada aligns with the documented distribution from Newfoundland south to Florida west to Alberta. (Ed: CH 2026-08-11)
