La fausse-teigne à cinq points du yucca est un petit papillon nocturne de 11 à 21 mm d'envergure. Le corps est couvert d'écailles blanches. Les ailes antérieures sont habituellement entièrement blanches, mais elles peuvent porter jusqu'à 18 petites taches foncées. Les ailes postérieures sont habituellement plus foncées, grises à presque blanches. Les adultes demeurent cachés à l'intérieur des fleurs de yucca glauque durant la journée, mais ils migrent vers les hampes florales durant la nuit. 1, record 3, French, - fausse%2Dteigne%20%C3%A0%20cinq%20points%20du%20yucca
