Hypenula cacuminalis, the Long-horned Owlet Moth, is a moth of the Erebidae family. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from the south-eastern United States east to Texas and Arizona.[2]
The length of the forewings is 13-14 mm.[3] Adults are mostly on wing from May to August, but have been recorded on wing from January to November in Florida. There are multiple generations per year in the southern part of the range.
The larvae probably feed on dead organic matter, such as dead leaves. Larvae can be found nearly year round.[4]
