Apantesis nevadensis, the Nevada tiger moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote and Coleman Townsend Robinson in 1866. It is found in the Pacific Northwest of North America, as well as the inter mountain region and the Rocky Mountain states. In Canada, it is found in Alberta and southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The habitat consists of deserts, juniper woodlands and open sagebrush range-lands, and as open forests.[1]
The length of the forewings is 15–.
