The Rubbed Dart, Sandhill Cutworm or Sand Cutworm (Euxoa detersa) is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found from Newfoundland to North Carolina, west to Nebraska, north to Alberta and the Northwest Territories.
The wingspan is 30–35 mm. Adults are on wing from July to October. There is one generation per year.
The larvae feed on corn, various grasses, cranberry, saltwort, sea-rocket, various garden crops and commercial grains.
The larvae construct subterranean burrows to feed on underground portions of host plants. They are considered very destructive in fields planted in sandy soils.
