Die uilmot (Cyligramma latona) is 'n mot wat ook in Suidelike Afrika voorkom. Dit lyk asof daar 'n paar op die vlerke is en dit het 'n vlerkspan van tot 75 mm. Lig, die reuk van alkoholiese drank en oorryp vrugte trek hulle aan. Hulle lewenssiklus is 'n week en hulle vrek nadat hulle gepaar en eiers gelê het. Die mot se larwe kom op Acacias voor.
