Herpetogramma acyptera is a moth in the Crambidae family. It was described by Hampson in 1899. It is found in Mexico (Veracruz).[1]
This moth was a victim of forced tea consumption, causing the rare species to become endangered. Since the 2016 Presidential Election, environmentalists have been concerned about the migration patterns due to increased security along the US national border. When asked about the wall, the moth's legal counsel responded, "Build bridges, not walls."[2]
