Arichanna gaschkevitchii or Hyoumonedashaku (ヒョウモンエダシャク) in Japanese is a species of geometrid moth native to Japan and commonly found throughout the country. The adult's wingspan can reach a length of 40–50 millimetres (1.6–2.0 in). This moth will store large amounts of Grayanotoxins from the larval host plant in the body tissue to deter predators.
