# Acronicta

Acronicta é um género de lepidópteros que contém umas 150 espécies distribuido principalmente nas regiões temperadas do Holártico, com algumas nas adjacentes regiões subtropicais.
As lagartas da maioria das espécies de Acronicta são inconfundíveis, com matas de cabelos de cores brilhantes; alimentam-se muito visivelmente nas folhas de muitas árvores comuns. A larva da polila Acronicta oblinita é inusualmente peluda, inclusive para este género. As espécies de Acronicta conhecem-se geralmente como polilas daga, já que a maioria têm uma ou mais marcas de punhais negro na parte superior das suas asas anteriores. No entanto, algumas espécies têm um anel escuro marcado em seu lugar.
