Clostera inclusa (angle-lined prominent moth, many-lined prominent or poplar tentmaker) is a species of moth of the family Notodontidae. It is found in North America, including Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ontario, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia.[2]
The wingspan is 25–32 mm. Adults are greyish brown with a tuft of brown hairs on the thorax.
The larvae feed on various Salicaceae species. They are gregarious. Young larvae skeletonize the leaves of their host plant, feeding under silken tents. Later, they eat whole leaves. Full-grown larvae are 35–44 mm long. They are lavender grey to light brown to nearly black with a shiny black head. The species overwinters as a pupa in a thin, silken cocoon on the ground.[3]
