The Tomato Looper (Chrysodeixis chalcites) is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is endemic to southern Europe, the Levant and tropical Africa, but can be found in great parts of Europe because it is a migratory species.

The length of the forewings is 15-18 mm. The moth flies from June to October. ^[1].

The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants, such as Echium vulgare, Apium, Rubus, but also Tomato, Fragaria and Tobacco which is why it is perceived as a pest.

Notes

1. ^ The flight season refers to The Netherlands. This may vary in other parts of the range.
