The Bordered Straw (Heliothis peltigera) is a species of moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in Southern Europe and the Near East, but can be found further North too, because it is a migratory species. It is also present in most of Africa and in Asia, ranging to China and Laos.

The wingspan is 34–42 mm. The length of the forewings is 16–19 mm. The moth flies from May to October depending on the location.

The larvae feed on Ononis, Calendula, Senecio viscosus and Tagetes.[1]
